"The Boy Volunteers with the British Artillery" by Kenneth Ward is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two American boys, Ralph and Alfred, who enlist to serve in the British artillery during World War I, navigating the uncertainties and dangers of war. Their journey is marked by their relentless spirit and numerous encounters with the realities of battle as they seek to make a significant contribution to the war effort. At the start of the narrative, Ralph and Alfred, recovering from wounds sustained in the aviation corps, grapple with the loss of their friend Lieutenant Guyon. They initially contemplate returning to America but decide instead to pursue a new opportunity in the British artillery after a conversation with a hospital doctor. As they make their way toward the front lines, they demonstrate courage and a determination to fight, setting the stage for their adventures as they encounter various aspects of military life, from the challenges of artillery service to the dangers posed by enemy fire. This opening portion establishes the backdrop for their personal growth and the trials they will face throughout the war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
