The Forgotten Missions Collection 1 — Five Military Fiction Stories

Five Untold Stories of Courage, Sacrifice and Survival

Five battles. Five desperate missions. Ordinary soldiers facing extraordinary odds.

From the shattered streets of Arnhem to the blood-soaked defences of Rorke's Drift, from the dangerous countryside of Normandy to the frozen hills of Korea and the battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars, The Forgotten Missions brings five gripping tales of courage under fire.

These are not stories about famous generals or grand military victories. They are stories about the men on the ground — exhausted, frightened and far from home — who must rely on their courage, determination and the soldiers fighting beside them.

Inside this collection:

• The Last Patrol at Arnhem — September 1944. Seven British airborne soldiers must carry vital intelligence through German-held territory as Operation Market Garden collapses around them.
• Seven Men at Rorke's Drift — January 1879. A small group of British infantrymen prepares to defend a remote mission station against overwhelming odds.
• The Forgotten Eight of Normandy — June 1944. Eight British commandos undertake a dangerous mission behind enemy lines in the aftermath of D-Day.
• The Ridge of No Return — April 1951. British soldiers fight for survival during the desperate battles along Korea's Imjin River.
• Eleven Men at the Pass — November 1809. During the Peninsular War, eleven soldiers face a deadly assignment in enemy territory.

Every story stands alone, with its own characters, mission and conclusion.

Inspired by real conflicts and grounded in historical settings, these fictional accounts explore the fear of battle, the bonds between soldiers and the sacrifices that history can overlook.

They were not fighting for medals or glory. They were fighting to complete their missions — and to bring their comrades home.

Perfect for readers who enjoy military historical fiction, Second World War stories, small-unit combat, desperate last stands and tales of courage against impossible odds.

History remembers the battles. These are the stories of the men who fought them.
