Angel of Mons

A down to earth tale of how the Great War really was for the private soldier...this is a story that will engulf many readers.
Sue Horton, adult literacy and english teacher (retired).

Written by a true storyteller...a story of horror, but also of friendship and humour.  A great read.
Peter Sharp, book club reviewer.

A compelling story of a sixteen-year-old boy facing the truth of war through innocent eyes.  All who read it will now understand how much was given by those who went to war in defence of freedom.
Ruth Wilkes, company director, Nelson.

Angel on my Shoulder

The author Carl Leckey has done it again, his continued story 'Angels On My Shoulder' is as good as his first book 'Angels of Mons.' Carl Leckey has a gift of knowing how various characters think, and, how they behave. This gift probably comes from his own varied and interesting life of meeting people in many walks of life. He certainly understands varied characters and this is apparent in all his interesting stories. 
The Angel On My Shoulder is recommended reading.

Carl Leckey’s second book in the Angels series is a great follow up to The Angels of Mons. I wondered what happened to the hero after the great- war. This is truly a rags to riches tale, he evolves from an ignoramus to a shrewd businessman thanks to his experiences during his army service. From a commoner to member of the nobility after demobilization when he discovers his true birthright? 
As an ex serviceman I enjoy his books and I am looking forward to the next one. I lost touch with my army comrades and regret it. I’m glad to see Adam stays in touch with his and includes them in his good fortune. I also enjoyed his book Tales of the Cut based on a completely different subject.
