'Major Tom's War' featured on the Western Front Association website

Vee Walker has taken her personal Armistice commemoration one step further than most.

As we approach the centenary of the Armistice, read about the inception of Vee Walker’s debut novel, which explores the military life of her grandfather and celebrates the heroic deeds of the villagers of Bavay, who Tom fought to liberate as his last act in the war.
