Maybe I will have to check it out.
Yeah, see you do learn something every day.
As far as my sources go, I use a number of different on-line references, I'll have to list them in a separate post.

It is WW1. The bf of the main girl in the story was killed in the Somme. So far the story is taking place in Italy. A number of other things you've mentioned in this thread are talked about in the story. A true history buff like yourself may not like it because even though its based on facts it is a novel. It is a love story unfolding during the war. When you have a little time you might want to read it anyway. It's really good. |
