About This Book

The narrative traces a group of school friends whose close bonds and youthful ideals are formed in five years of public-school life, then tested by military service. It moves from classroom banter, rivalry and rites of passage to training aboard ship, voyages with chaplains and officers, and deployment to the Gallipoli campaign, where combat, shock, and bereavement confront their earlier visions. Themes include comradeship, sacrifice, faith, the loss of innocence, and how ordinary loyalties are transformed by the experience of modern war.
