"The Pomp of Yesterday" by Joseph Hocking is a story set in the early 1900s that grapples with themes of forgotten memories and the harsh realities of war during World War I. The story starts with Captain Luscombe meeting Paul Edgecumbe, who arrives in England from India with no memory of who he is or where he came from. As Luscombe aids Paul in navigating his new life, Paul expresses a deep desire to join the army, driven by a sense of responsibility to his country even without knowing his own history. United through their interactions, the book shows the personal battles of people living through wartime.
