When the First World War broke out, Britain was the unchallenged head of a cast empire, and the envy of the world. The country have lived in relative peace for the past hundred years, and when war was declared the general assumption was that it would be over by the end of the year. But the Great War was to change entirely the face of the nation and the lives of millions of men and their families. This book follows the progress of the war through the personal experiences of nine men involved in the fight for their country, from the defence of the Western Front, through the Gallipoli fampaign and the Battle of Jutland to eventual victory. What unites all nine men, despite their different situations, is a sense of camaraderie, and this, above all else, seems to drive them onward through some of the most horrifying chapters of military history.
