About this book

Alfred Fredrick John Knight was born in Yeovil to his mother Amelia and father George. When Alfred was three years old, George his father left Amelia telling her that he was taking their son Alfred with him. George took Alfred and in secret eloped with his lover to Wales. Alfred was later adopted and lived with his adopted family talking to the family about emigrating to Canada. He told his family that he wanted to stay in England and try and find his birth mother. He left home and went back to Yeovil, but there was no trace of his mother, he did manage to find his grandmother Mary, who was still alive. While looking for a job, he saw a sign which read, 'YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!' Alfred then decided that he wanted to become a soldier and join the British Army. After joining up with Prince Albert's light infantry, the Somerset Light Infantry was sent out to India to fight the rebellion. Will Alfred ever find his birth mother?
