The Battlefield Treasure is a novel written by F. Bayford Harrison. The book is set in the aftermath of World War I and follows the story of a young soldier named Jack who returns home from the war, only to be faced with financial difficulties. In an attempt to make ends meet, Jack takes up a job as a gardener on a large estate. While working on the estate, he discovers a hidden treasure that was buried by soldiers during the war. Jack becomes determined to uncover the secrets of the treasure and sets out on a dangerous adventure to find it. Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters, including a mysterious woman and a group of treasure hunters, who are also searching for the hidden loot. The book is a thrilling adventure story that explores themes of greed, loyalty, and the aftermath of war.Soon after this Jack began to listen for suspicious noises. Nothing did he hear but children's voices in the distance ringing shrill, and the rumble of an occasional cart, and the soft cooing of pigeons not far off. But through these was another sound; footsteps coming nearer and nearer. It seemed that they paused, then crunched on the gravel, then were muffled, then again were louder and with them mingled low, deep voices. These voices certainly were in Mr Corbet's house.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
