Frederick L. Coxen

Description:On August 23rd, 1914, the British Expeditionary Force’s (BEF) entry into World War One against the German First Army at what would become known as the Battle of the Mons. Before the battle began, four friends serving in the Royal Field Artillery made a promise to each other: whoever survived would contact the families of those who did not,to make certain they would know what happened to their loved one. Of those four young men, only Captain Frederick G. Coxen survived.Frederick L. Coxen’s debut is a fascinating, visceral journey into the hell of war, the hearts of the men engaging in battle, and the search for closure for those left in its wake. Nearly one hundred years after the BEF’s initial engagement, Captain Coxen’s grandson was given his grandfather’s journal—and a letter he wrote in 1945 detailing the promise that was made but never kept. With these two items in hand, his grandson begins a quest: to find the families of the fallen men and make good on the promise left so long unfinished. Interspersing sections of the grandfather’s journal with key historical background the author transcends the reader beyond the historical depiction of the War, transporting them into the trenches through the experiences of one man who survived while millions of men perished. The Author goes on to describe the grandson's journey as he attempts to track down the families of the deceased in order to close the circle so long left open. The book delivers a surprise conclusion fitting for such a remarkable journey.Historically fascinating and emotionally affecting, the author's augmentations of the grandfather’s journal entries give depth and resonance to two separate paths connected by one hundred years of silence.
