The first part of the story 'Archie Dobson's War'

The first part of the story 'Archie Dobson's War'. Archie Dobson is 10 years old and hopes to make the school football team. But the year is 1914 and all is about to change.

It is the summer of 1914. The Dobsons are getting ready to visit their country cousins, the Carters. Ten-year-old Archie Dobson is particularly excited to be seeing his older cousin Walter. Walter tells Archie of a great adventure he believes to be coming in the near future...and when war is declared later that summer Walter enlists in the army and leaves for France.
