Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
Claude Choules, last known combat veteran of the first world war.
I finished reading Pat Barker's The Ghost Road (1995) yesterday. It is less of a novel than its predecessors, Regeneration (1991) and The Eye in the Door (1993); what it is, it becomes clear only in the last few pages, is a ritual, a sending-on, an exorcism. There was a need for it. I was reading about events still tied by memory to the living world.
They have gone on now.
