The book asks who the people might have been whose names are on a war memorial, why did they join the forces and what were they expecting? How was a war different just after Victorian times, when Britain was at the peak of its Empire and men fought without much training, to a war today when all soldiers are professionals? An what did the young men find when they got to the fronts? The book focuses on a day at the Battle of the Somme as an example of warfare and concludes with an explanation of the Armistice, the Cenotaph and the cemeteries in the fields of northern France.
