Unfolding across the stunning backdrop of the Victorian Era, the story is centered on two members of the Duncan familya clan who helped paved the way to the building of Northern Ireland as a nation. John Wright Duncan and his daughter, Jane Wright Duncan, were pioneers of their time. John enlisted freely in the English Army from Ireland and gained the rank of Sergeant Major, the highest rank he could obtain as a non-commissioned officer. Jane, like her father, would also have her own place in history. As the only surviving daughter, she reflected upon her fathers service in the army in a unique way. Soon she followed in his footsteps, giving and helping others. Her efforts was among the forces that put into motion an event that would change the lives of women around the world the suffragette movement. A riveting blend of history and imagination, The Queens Own Ulster Soldier is a fascinating glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of the Duncan family and a brilliantly wrought tale of fortitude and the human spirit.
