Like so many other men, Jim Hickman and Bertie Murphy are plunged into this nightmare. As the war progresses, Jim receives honour after honour, whilst Bertie sinks deep into depression. And back home Polly, the girl they both love, must choose between the two men.that is, if they ever come back alive. As the trio are trapped in physical and mental torment, a terrible tragedy befalls them.
