After an early career in the British Army, Mark Christmas began writing poetry to reflect his thoughts and experiences. This new collection was written over a period of years, while the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were being reported by the media on the 'home front'. For some readers, the journey through this writing will be like opening Pandora's box. For others, the poems will strike a chord of truth. The aim of the publication is to rally support for the soldiers and veterans who may be receiving little assistance despite having served their country. ABOUT THE SCULPTURE The sculpture of 'The Abandoned Soldier' has been created by James Napier to honour those who have fought valiantly for our country, but are not being treated as the heroes they truly are. 'The Abandoned Soldier' was modeled on Lance Corporal Daniel Twiddy, who was wounded in Basra by friendly fire in 2003 and sustained many injuries, including facial wounds from shrapnel. For more information about the sculture and the Project, please visit The Abandoned Soldier website at theabandonedsoldier.com. This book is a SilverWood Original title, published to support The Abandoned Soldier Project.
