TODD,Charles. A DUTY TO THE DEAD
This is a novel, in a series of novels, written by Mother and Son, that live in Delaware and North Carolina respectively. How they do this, I'll never know; but they've authored together at least 13 novels - go figure, and write under the name of Charles Todd. This novel is really unique ......I never suspected such an ending. Its also a novel that pays homage to the unspoken warriors of the Great War. [WWI] Those nurses who sought to care for the wounded, maimed and dying soldiers. Its a novel about how one nurse determines to carry a soldiers mysterious message home to his family after his death, and her almost death, as their hospital ship is sunk by a German mine. I have not heard much about the nurses who ministered alongside the soldiers of WWI, but after reading this book my appreciation and curiosity about these
brave woman has certainly grown. I would say in many ways this is about human integrity, determination and bravery despite all odds. A very good read. ENJOY

"Charles Todd" is an interesting choice of pseudonym, inasmuch there was a notorious Confederate bushwacker by that name during the Civil War.

Sherm............ that is really neat. I'm betting that mother and son may not know about that; then again maybe that's their joke on those who read their novels?. Thanks so much for the info. I'm always amazed at life's little known facts, and how they mysteriously surface, sometimes again and again over the ages.
