Loyalty - or A Boy Born of Two Fathers.

By J. A. Stapleton

These are the drafts for my Creative Writing coursework.

This is an espitolary novel about Capt. R. Loveday and the men he led into the jungles of Kohima at the end of the Second World War. The Battle of Kohima was referred to as the Stalingrad of the East in which many men lost their lives.

This is a tale of woe, deceit, courage and chaos. What is loyalty and the many forms that it can take?

Hope you enjoy! The constructive criticism is appreciated.

Thanks,

J. A. Stapleton.
