Archibald Baxter

Some Room 15 students go and read in Room 14. We read a book in the school journal called - His Own war. This is a Non Fiction storey ( so its true) This book was about a Middle aged man called Archibald Baxter and his war. He was one of the patrons in WW1 who fought in his own way the way no  man would want to. It started off war was announced and thousands of men rushed to enlist. But the time came when they were still low on troops this was when Military Conscripted was introduced. This is when the government will send out letters to young men  in between the age of 20 and 40 one of these men was Archibald Baxter he was just 39 when he got this letter.....But Archi refused to fight this meant 84 days of prison. But after these 84 days he still refused. He refused to follow orders were uniforms and even handle a gun.This meant he would have to be tied to a pole in a farm for a week with no food and water his feet weren't allowed to touch the ground. When he was untied his hands were black but after that he still Refused to fight so he was put in the front line and suffered memory loss he went to hospital and went home after months so that meant Archibald won his war.
