The Green Flag by Arthur Conan Doyle. A story for our times?

I never knew how much I loved Arthur Conan Doyle until hearing all your wonderful work. I had My first child four months ago and his middle name is Arthur. If not for you, I would not have chosen that name. Thank you.

'The desert sand is sodden red/Red with the blood of a square that broke/And the gatling jammed, and the colonel dead...' Your reading brought home to me just what those lines meant to the soldiers who faced that sort of experience. Beautifully read, and (again) a Conan Doyle story that was completely new to me. Thank you so much.

Indeed it Is apposite for the times. Thank you for choosing this one Mr. Wagland and for all your work here. Will look forward to your upcoming choices.

This reminds me somewhat of another ACD story, "The Slapping Sal": they each describe a sort of inversion of "My enemy's enemy is my friend" - instead, in each case, we are shown "my enemy's other enemy is just unspeakable, so maybe my enemy is not so bad after all, and I'll die before I see them defeated by these other bastards". I'm sure there's a more concise way of putting that, but it's late and I've had a really long day.

So refreshing to hear a "non-Sherlock", specially read so well and evocatively. Thanks

Dear Greg. Thank you so much for taking this short detour to treat us to what you rightly say is a fascinating story, apposite for our times, (and sadly, it would appear, for time perpetuity) by the master storyteller and moralist. As a man with Irish heritage himself much of what Doyle narrates rings entirely true and familiar and the symbolism of the green flag, arching across the various faiths and cultures, is a brilliantly evocative and poignant one. Perhaps one day, God willing, flags of different colours will no longer be necessary - as the greatest man who ever walked this sorry Earth tried to teach us.

This was superb and the manner in which you narrated it was so thrilling, you brought the atmosphere to life. Thanks.

I was going to say ACD certainly knew his history but I suppose it wasn’t history when he put pen to paper. I can’t praise Greg’s narration enough. Thank you.

So great to hear another Sir Arthur's story. I hope you don't run out of them as I Iove listening to his stories when performed by the best actor/narrator, Mr. Wagland.

"A stricken man can only feel his own wound." What a great line, I'm going to start using that.

So nice to hear new Doyle! Your voice the best. Thanks Wagland.

Excellent, I Love Sir ACD's works!

Thank you Greg, it's always a pleasure when you share with us a new masterpiece to enjoy and contemplate. As always, greatly appreciated my friend!

Always a brilliant & clear dramatic reading & production perfection, and appreciated dearly. 🎉

Thank you sir I so enjoy these little books you come up with most of them I've never heard

I don't like battle movies or war but, it is instant drama & the clear, straight to the point style & economy of words of Conan Doyle makes it bearable; and, of course excellent narration Greg ... Thank You

I live for these masterpieces! Another Doyle hooray.

Very good indeed. Thanks for reading and sharing.

Thank you Greg! 🎉
