Book summary

In 1854, Harry Hardinge, a young officer in the Welsh Fusiliers, is waiting to leave for the war against Russia. On a large estate in Wales, he is reunited with Lady Estelle, whom he loves in silence, and a troubling rival. Then his regiment leaves for the Crimea, and Harry experiences the Battle of Inkerman and the trenches before Sevastopol.

A novel of war and love, which stays close to the soldiers marching under the flag of the red dragon.

Harry tells his own story, and this action-packed novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.
