Thanks, Paul. I'm fascinated by the importance of Voice, ever since I read that a critic of Rees Mogg was intimidated bv Mogg's superior, calm voice. I could see how an an angry regional accent - e.g. George Galloway - might 'lose' in a debate because Mogg sounds so wise, even though he often talks toxic drivel (e.g. British concentration camps in South Africa were a good thing, according to Mogg). Voice is obviously important to the ruling elite because I read that Kate Middleton had elocution lessons as part of her elevation to royalty.

Will Stone roll over? I think not, his fallen comrades will surely have something to say! Great stuff, scene setting/background. Love the use of fallen comrades voices to show his thought processes, ghosts or symptoms of shell shock? Looking forward to more.
