Post of Honour (A Horseman Riding By Book 2)

A rural English family navigates the end of the Great War and the threat of future conflict in this saga from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Avenue novels. Paul Craddock, a Boer War veteran, has built the sprawling West Country estate of Shallowford through hard work and dedication to the land. He lives there peacefully with his wife and three children. However, as war spreads across England, this remote corner of Devon cannot avoid its devastation. Young village farmers—many barely adults when they enlist—die in combat or return home to find their way of life vanishing. As the Great War concludes and another conflict threatens, Craddock's faith and family bonds sustain him and his village through difficult times. This novel tells the story of a farming family and a disappearing way of life. Post of Honour is the second book in R. F. Delderfield's A Horseman Riding By saga, which begins with Long Summer Day and continues with The Green Gauntlet.
