From Inside Front Cover:
It was June 1916 when Sergeant Boots Adams of the Royal West Kents, together with his men, was billeted on the Descartes farm in Northern France. It was a short break from the turmoil and horror of the trenches, and Boots and his men, in return for their free billeting, were to help the farmer in his fields. It came as something of a surprise to discover that the land was being managed by a young French war widow, Cecile Lacoste, and, to the distant sound of the guns, a brief wartime friendship flared between Boots and Cecile. the friendship was cut brutally short when, once more, the West Kents were called back to the trenches, and Boots suffered an injury that was to take him home to Walworth, to Sammy and Chinese Lady, and all the valiant cockney friends who were to help him through the darkest period of his life.
It was to be many years before Boots' friend, Miss Polly Simms, visiting the old battle haunts of France, stumbled once more upon the Descartes farm, and the memories of the past were rekindled.

RELEASE NOTES:
I donated this into the little shop for them to sell on. I did point out to the member of staff that it was a Bookcrossing book (although she didn't seem aware what BC is), but that it was fine for her to sell.
