Edgar Wallace 
Jam for the Enemy 

Between 1904 and 1918, Wallace collected tales about life in the British Army and the escapades and adventures of the troops. These led him to create the eponymous character, ‚Smithy.’However, ‚Jam for the Enemy‘ shines the spotlight on his equally scurrilous partner in crime, Nobby Clark. In this short story, Nobby comes up with a plan to use a crate of jam to scupper the advancing German army. However, as with all Nobby’s plans, the end result isn’t quite what he expected. A light-hearted look at life in the lower ranks, ‚Jam for the Enemy‘ is perfect for those interested in WWI stories. –
