Description: Posted to France in 1916, eighteen year old Lieutenant Oliver Paxton is idealistic and eager to win the war. Though he feels surrounded by loafers and drunks, he enjoys being a Flying Corps gunner. Most of all he looks forward to the battle of the Somme, never dreaming what a blood bath it would become.
