Wilson was on the verge of a professional sporting career when World War 1 started. Eventually he was sent to the Front, under-trained and ill equipped. There he experienced the horrors and deprivations of trench warfare.

Unable to cope he had a breakdown and ran away. Whilst being nursed back to health by a young French widow, he is recaptured and, during an eventful journey back to Belgium for his Court Martial, he forms a friendship with his captor. This was to have great significance in the future.The dramatic events before, during and after the Court Martial provide a gripping finale.

In More Than Just A Life the author weaves a dramatic story that deals with the highly emotive aspect of the ordeal of the ordinary soldier, the wanton loss of young lives and the harsh discipline of the Army.

AH from Devon - A very sad story and the graphic pictures you painted of warfare in the trenches if ever filmed would make Saving Private Ryan seem tame by comparison. Well done!

Mr Cheesman from Surrey - Nine out of ten I like the twist in the tail! When will the sequel be available?

Mr N Russell - one of those that you couldn't put down - thoroughly enjoyed it!
