It is the summer of 1914 and the diplomatic situation in Europe is crumbling. Philip Oakley is bemoaning the fact that, as a Naval Volunteer Reservist, he won’t see any
action in the impending war. But Naval Reservists are among the first called up, to be formed into the Royal Naval Division – ‘Winston’s Little Army’.
From the searing heat of Gallipoli and the frozen wastes of the Somme to the hell of Passchendaele, Philip discovers this is not the lark they all thought it was going to be.
