“In the summer of 1914 the Germans enter Belgium.  This is the signal for ‘mobilisations’ in Britain, and John Carey, with his Regiment the West Glamorgans, leaves the comfortable Barracks at Tidworth for the danger and hardship of life in the trenches, where men hardly dare look forward to tomorrow.  The British army is fighting against vastly superior numbers and at times the situation seems almost hopeless; however, the introduction of a new and astonishing weapon has heartening results.”
