Megiddo's Shadow
“My mind would still be on the drill field, wheeling into different formations, waiting for the signal to charge. Every moment on Buke made me think of Dad's time in the dragoons; he might have trained on these very hills.
Partway through the week, I placed the ink jar on our small table and wrote: Dear Father, I am writing a quick letter between drills. I am in the Lincolnshire Yeomanry now. Imagine, I am part of your old county's yeomanry. I've even been to Aylesby, though I didn't see our hom...e farm.
Uncle Nix arranged for my transfer. We had an important talk about the war and Britain's part in it. He sends his warmest wishes to you.
Remember when you made me ride with pennies squeezed against the horse with both knees? Well, the horsemanship you taught me has truly paid off.
I hope there isn't too much snow this year. I will write again when I get a moment.
Faithfully, your son,Edward I sealed the envelope just as Cheevers arrived with a pink gift-wrapped box.
