Anatomy of a soldier

See all formats and editions

Let's imagine a man called Tom Barnes, aka BA5799, who's leading British troops in the war zone. And two boys growing up together, riding a prized bicycle and flying kites, before finding themselves estranged once foreign soldiers appear in their countryside; and the man who trains one to fight against the other's father and these infidels.

Then include the family and friends who radiate out from these lives, people on all sides of this conflict with most everyone caught in the middle.

But then imagine not how they see themselves but as all the objects surrounding them do - their shoes, a helmet, a trove of dollars, a drone, that bike, weaponry, a bag of fertilizer, a medal, beer glass, a snowflake, dogtags, or a horrific explosion that ties them all together and the various medical implements that are subsequently employed.
