About this listen

Michael McGuire has left the army, but as the First World War breaks out his country calls him again.

At the start of the war the British expand their army rapidly, but there is a shortage of experienced officers and McGuire is needed. He is sent to Gallipoli in command of an Australian battalion that suffers badly in that debacle. He stays with them when their bloody road takes them to the mud and carnage of the western front.

This follows on from the previous book and MacQuire is now sent to France to stand in the line with the Anzac troops from Australia and New Zealand. A vivid description of life in the trenches ensues. The sheer quantity of the dead is unimaginable and the conditions were uncivilised. Yet the story is written with heart and although you certainly feel for the men it is still an enjoyable and exceptional story. Thank you for writing this, we should be reminded of the great sacrifices made so that we can enjoy our lives today.

Another exceptional story
