520			_a"Our Soldier Boy" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the Peninsular War, primarily in Portugal, the narrative revolves around a young boy who becomes a beloved mascot for a British regiment after he is rescued from the horrors of war. The story examines themes of bravery, parental love, and the impact of conflict on innocent lives. The plot follows an eight-year-old boy who, after a horrific attack by the French on his family's villa, is left severely injured and without memory of his past. Rescued by a corporal of the 200th Fusiliers, he soon becomes affectionately known as "Dick," believing the corporal and his wife to be his true parents. Over time, he integrates into the regiment, showcasing courage during battles and ultimately saving the Colonel's life. As the story progresses, the true identities of his biological parents surface, leading to an emotional reunion. Through its vivid portrayal of war's aftermath, the novel highlights the resilience of the human spirit and the bonds formed in the face of adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
