Dr Stephen Brent, 35 and in partnership with 53 y.o. Dr Randall, was not quite at ease. Even Stephen's wife, Mary, seemed to be hiding her feelings of late. Their little town of Brackenhurst, hidden away in a quiet corner of Sussex, seemed offended by his non-appearance in khakis. Like many other honourable men of the Great War period, Stephen eventually found himself in uniform. His adventures from Gallipoli to the hell hole of France, the incompetence of the higher ranks, the horrors of trench warfare and the closeness of friendships forged in blood on the battlefields will move you like no other book on the Great War. This novel seems semi-autobiographical, WD having served in the Royal Army Medical Corps in all of the locations mentioned in this book
