Hold On to Your Dreams (2015)
“Edward had soon discovered he was not a good sailor, but the relief of standing once again on solid ground had been short-lived. He crouched behind a rock, listening to the officers shouting, and the men cursing. They’d run into an ambush on the way to a place called Ladysmith, which had been under siege by the Boers since early November.
Keeping low, he wriggled along, oblivious to bullets thudding around him. It was chaos, and he wondered how many of them would be alive after they got out... of this. The Boers had the advantage of surprise and were making the most of the confusion. The British forces were scattered around a gully in small groups, and unless they re-formed he couldn’t see how they could mount an organised attack.
Hearing an agonised scream, he turned in the direction it had come from. About thirty feet away was a group of soldiers, and one was holding his side, writhing in pain. It was Jack, who was little more than a boy.MoreLess
