"The Peace Pox"
The War to End All wars was barely five months old. Almost a million people had been killed or wounded.
Millions of brave men, mostly clueless pawns, joined up and marched out to kill each other for God and Country; just like their fathers before them and many generations to follow.
By the end of this senseless slaughter a whole generation of men had been lost. One memorable event survived this debacle.
It happened like this. . .
Suddenly, a disease, the Peace Pox, broke out infecting both friend and foe. More virulent than small pox, the Peace Pox lasted just a few hours. Those infected were unwilling to fight during the course of the disease.
Despite the best efforts of the generals, the Peace Pox spread along the Western Front, sparing few. Eventually, the generals were able to eliminate the Peace Pox and develop an effective inoculation regimen.
POX is the story of a few soldiers, British and German, who were affected most by the Peace Pox and suffered most from the cure. Join the Queen's Own Rifles and the Saxons as they challenge each other to live while others plot their death.
