The King's Orphan

By Martin Paul Roche

During the great War, 116 young men who had attended Blackburn Orphanage in Lancashire, went to war to ​fight for their ​King and their Country. 10 of them never returned. One of them was only recorded by his name. William North... the forgotten orphan.

'The King's Orphan' tells the story of the life of an unknown - or rather, creates for him a life, an opportunity to be remembered.
