A Soldier’s Christmas

"A Soldier's Christmas" follows a career officer who, invalided out of the Army just before Christmas, resolves to ignore the holiday entirely rather than face it without his regiment. Bitter, restless, and convinced his useful life is over, he is coaxed from his rooms by his cousin Alice and drawn into a warm family Christmas. Over dinner he reconnects with Ethel Meadows, a sharp-witted army woman from his past, and begins to imagine a future beyond the barracks — before a long-dreaded letter from the War Office changes everything.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
