Synopsis

THE STORY OF A SOLDIER IN WORLD WAR ONE.

After killing former comrades as part of a firing squad, Charley has joined the Stretcher Bearers in an attempt to save lives rather than take them. But he soon finds himself back behind a rifle reunited with ‘The Scholar’ as his new officer, while an entrenched group of German soldiers engage them in a sniper stand-off! Meanwhile Charley’s younger brother Wilf has his own struggles in the skies, as an observer with the Royal Flying Corps.

Charley’s adventures take him through the final months of the War in Europe to the cold land of Russia, under the orders of his unjust superiors and their corrupt interests…

This final volume concludes Pat Mills and Joe Colquhoun’s anti-war epic, a monument to the power of comics.
