Summary
Edwin shares some memories of his family and the war that tore apart his life even before his death. It takes some years, but eventually Charles figures out what to do to help.
Charles had to double back to stand shoulder to shoulder with his new best mate and look up at the enormous stone monument. The big, capital letters simply read “The Glorious Dead,” with a big wreath carved above and some flags on either side.
Edwin was far more reserved about his emotions in those early days. It felt like pulling teeth to figure out what kind of chair he preferred, so Charles was properly shocked to see tears streaming down the other boy’s cheeks.
