Lady Wedderburn's wish, Vol. 2 (of 3) : A tale of the Crimean War

Captain Cyril Wedderburn returns to his regiment at Chatham Barracks just as the Fusileers prepare to embark for the East. With only a fortnight to gather supplies, settle his affairs, and bid farewell to familiar faces, Cyril finds the barracks alive with the humor, rivalries, and traditions of army life. His commanding officer, Sir Edward Elton, is a seasoned leader determined to send his men to war in the finest possible order.

Behind the banter of the mess table lies a world of impending separation and uncertain danger. As officers exchange confidences and revive old songs, personal attachments and unfinished business become impossible to ignore. The approaching Crimean campaign promises hardship and adventure, while those left behind must face their own trials. This installment blends military camaraderie, romantic feeling, and Victorian suspense as Cyril and those connected to him are drawn toward journeys that will test their courage and loyalty.
