Roy Whain did what hundreds of others have done, following in the hoofprints of his father and grandfather when he joined the Cavalry of the United States Army. But his service in the Great War would lay an enormous stone in the foundation of a legacy of service, faith, and sacrifice that would carry his son, grandson, and great-grandson through more than a century of America’s wars. Based on the true story of one family’s service to our nation and their God, The Whains of War, Volume 1 tells the story of Roy Whain, and his adventures and horrors with General Pershing and General Patton on the Mexican incursion and then on to France for the ‘War to end all wars.’ He would live if just barely, to see his own son and grandson prove that nickname false. With his beloved back home waiting for him and praying for his safe return, and the chaplain who kept his spirit grounded, Roy witnessed the most atrocious suffering and evil, and the purest of honor and bravery in the face of unimaginable terror. With God as his guide, he walked through history and would have those memories branded into his mind for the rest of his life. The events depicted in this work of historical fiction are based on historical fact and the true story of my family. Come join us on our journey through hell and back to salvation and peace.
