This title tells the stark and poignant story of a young man sent to fight on the Western Front during the First World War. It is an unimaginably harrowing journey, especially for one not yet old enough to vote. In sparse but gripping prose the author conveys a sense of the horrors of life in the trenches, where soldiers fight and die, entombed in mud, surrounded by rats and lice and forced to survive on little food.
