Love and War: A Romance of Old Aspatria

About this book

In 1877 a newly qualified, and very young doctor, William Briggs from Aspatria ,volunteered to help Britain's interests in Turkey by assisting the wounded in a war with Russia. A quiet and conscientious country GP found himself at the siege of Plevna, scene of some of the bloodiest battles in one of the nineteenth century's biggest wars. In the same year, Briggs married a remarkable young woman in a match that may rightly be described as surprising. This novel is based loosely, on their story.
