The idea of this anthology is simple – each writer dedicates their work to a relative killed in WW1 or one of the millions of other soldiers who died in the conflict.
Your story should be set in 1918 and feature a returning serviceman. Please note that he does not have to be the protagonist or British. Many non-Europeans fought in WWI and I would like the anthology to reflect this.
