In 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand set Europe on fire. Two years later, meet Albert “Bertie” Fletcher — a 21-year-old British soldier hardened by life in the trenches of World War I. Follow his journey from eager shop clerk to battle-scarred veteran as he faces the brutal reality of the Western Front.
Discover what daily life was really like for a Tommy in 1916 — from muddy trenches and gas masks to the deadly “mad minute” rifle fire.
