The Forgotten Missions Collection 2 — Five WWII & WWI Military Fiction Stories

Five Gripping Stories of Courage, Sacrifice and Survival

Five dangerous missions. Five unforgettable battles. Ordinary soldiers facing extraordinary odds.

Across centuries of warfare, history has remembered the great battles, famous commanders and decisive victories. But behind every campaign were ordinary men carrying out dangerous assignments, often far from help and with little hope of returning home.

The Forgotten Missions — Collection Two takes readers from the battlefields of Revolutionary America to the brutal trenches of the First World War, the deserts of North Africa and the unforgiving jungles of Burma.

Inspired by real historical conflicts, these five standalone military fiction stories explore the courage, fear, friendship and sacrifice of soldiers fighting against overwhelming odds.

Inside this collection:

The Twelve of Brandywine — 1777

During the American Revolutionary War, twelve British light infantrymen are sent to investigate a crossing near Brandywine Creek. When American forces discover their position, a straightforward reconnaissance mission becomes a desperate fight to escape.

Nine Men Before Sevastopol — 1854

Nine British soldiers occupy a ruined building overlooking a vital approach to the siege lines. As Russian infantry and artillery close in, they must hold their position long enough to warn their comrades of the approaching danger.

The Seven of Passchendaele — 1917

In the mud and destruction of the Western Front, seven British soldiers undertake a dangerous mission amid one of the First World War's most infamous battles. Survival will depend on determination, teamwork and courage under relentless enemy fire.

Eight Men Beyond El Alamein — 1942

Ten Men in the Green Hell — 1944

In the dense jungles of Burma, ten Chindit soldiers are tasked with destroying a Japanese supply bridge. But carrying out the sabotage is only the beginning. Escaping through hostile jungle with wounded comrades will test every man to his limits.

More Than Battles. More Than Soldiers.

These are stories about the human cost of war: the men who follow orders despite their fear, the friendships forged in danger and the difficult choices made when survival is far from certain.

Each story features its own characters, mission and complete ending, alongside historical context explaining the real events that inspired the fiction.
