Book description
It is 1915 and the Great War has been raging for a year, when
Edward Rowbotham, a coal miner from the Midlands, volunteers for
Kitchener's Army. Drafted into the newly-formed Machine Gun Corps, he
is sent to fight in places whose names will forever be associated with
mud and blood and sacrifice: Ypres, the Somme, and Passchendaele.
