Somewhere his body hes in an unknown grave, and ‘Missing’ stands beside his name on the roll of his regiment. During the months that camo after until they length- ened into years, and every prison door had been unbarred, every pen emptied, I prayed that God would not leave me utterly desolate. I was fresa und comely when my husband en- listed, but in those four years I aged a decade, it was not the hard work nor aloue the care of my three helplesy children that did it.
