*World War, British soldiers went to the
*Front Lines & trenches with naïve enthusiasm & heroic expectations; only to gradually face the terrible realisation of the horrors & inhumanity of a war that would mercilessly claim the lives of 13000,000 men in less than 4 years.

It was a fitting book to read around Remembrance/Armistice Day.
