Private Peaceful

Imagine you are a soldier in 1914 fighting the biggest war that humanity has ever experienced. Remember, WWII hasn't happened yet. You are in a muddy trench, careful not to lift your head too high, because you will get shot. The story Private Peaceful begins in the English countryside of Devon.  The characters are Tommo, Charlie, Big Joe Peaceful and Molly Monks.  It is set just before WWI starts in England.  Before the war, they all live mostly happy lives, until the Colonel forces their mother to work for him. The children live with their Grandma “Wolf” that they hate with all their might.  But after the Colonel's wife dies, their mother doesn’t have to work for him any more.They enjoy time with their mother until… the war starts.
