Fall of Poppies - Stories of Love and the Great War

I only recognized two of the nine authors in Fall of Poppies - Stories of Love and the Great War (#912), but Lauren Willig's name alone was enough to convince me to give this anthology a try.

I must admit, I was really disappointed in most of the stories here.  The only thing these novellas seem to have in common was Armistice Day, a much narrower focus.  The end result for me was an entirely forgettable collection of tales vaguely related to World War I.  I just should have re-read Helen Simonson's The Summer Before the War.  (See my post of 4/13/16.)
