The horror of the trenches with lice, rats, mud, cold, gas and flame throwers. Men lying dead and dying in no-man's land some whose bodies would not be recovered until after the war ended. This account gives an insight into the bravery, courage and dedication shown by those men. Although the characters are fictitious the events are real as are the facts and figures. Author JT Blythe puts together a story woven round the actual battles the Battalion took part in over the period 1914-1915 giving an insight not only to the horrors of the Western Front but also to the realities of the Home Front and the efforts made by many patriotic women who kept the country working in the absence of their menfolk.
