Summary
Alexander Payne had few personal items with him in the trenches. A wooden carved cross his father had gifted him years ago, on the day he first left for St. Hilarion's. Flowers he pressed carefully between pieces of paper, waiting for them to dry so he could send them home to Anna, his bride-to-be. A few assorted letters from friends. A picture of him and his parents, as stiff and lifeless as they always seemed to be. Most precious to him, however, was the singular photograph of his younger brother Edwin and the treasured few letters the younger boy had sent. These were stored more carefully, at the top of the tin where they were less likely to be crushed.

Alexander Payne died during World War 1, in November 1915. He has spent the last 110 years confined to the battlefield where he died and the small town nearby, oblivious to the fact that his younger brother Edwin died merely a year after he had. When Alexander learns about the Dead Boy Detective Agency, he simply hopes he can find a way to break whatever tie is keeping him here, and instead comes face to face with Edwin for the first time in over a century
