The tension between these two men moves to a more personal level when, during leave in England, Krishna has a passionate affair with Warren's sister, while Warren leams of his wife's unfaithfulness with another man. Private and military pressures combine to harden and embitter Bateman. He becomes a tyrant to his men suppressing their traditions and religious customs, without which they are more than
ever demoralised.
And in the Flanders mud and horror of 1914, the clash between Indian and English temperament and tradition becomes a private war between two men and their women that has tragic consequences. Vissza
