Harry's War

This book is about a boy that went to war,but before that he just lived on a farm and herded sheep for his mother. Then he decided he was going to join the army. The only thing Harry didn't realize that he had to do lots of hard work and train, train, and train. And he fought in Passchendale.

Passchendale- The Ypres of Belgium, where Passchendale is located, was the scene of several first war battles. It was the last portion of Belgium that was not in enemy hands after the initial German advance of 1914 and, as a result, held great symbolic meaning to the Allies. Ypres was a very difficult place to fight.

 Armistice Day- The anniversary of 11 November 1918, now replaced by Remembrance Sunday in the UK and Veterans Day in the US.
