The Boy Allies under Two Flags

"The Boy Allies under Two Flags" by Clair W. Hayes is a historical adventure where two young friends, Jack and Frank, find themselves in the middle of World War I, serving on the H.M.S. Sylph. The story opens by throwing the boys straight into a naval fight against German ships in the Mediterranean, showing their courage as they assist the crew. After damaging the enemy, the Sylph retreats, which sets the stage for the boys to grow closer. The boys soon realize war is not what they expected, and that they must fight for their freedom. By encountering formidable foes, the boys face both the thrill and the peril of war, all while learning lessons about camaraderie and growing up that will stay with them.
