Charles Pollard is the son of a wealthy Dublin barrister, and is enjoying his care-free student days, in the summer of 1914. Now freed from the constraints of boyhood, he has taken his first steps into the adult world. Finding new freedoms and with few responsibilities, his future looks bright. He has a sweetheart, Sarah, and is filled with the joys of first love. But there are dark clouds on the horizon as Europe moves ever closer to war.
Torn between his loyalty to King and country, his family and sweetheart, and the excitement of going to war, the story follows Charles and other young Irishmen as they leave Dublin for Alexandria and Gallipoli. The book encompasses the terrible reality of that war.
It examines the political situation in Ireland at that time and the reasons why so many young Irishmen volunteered to join the British Army. Using anecdotes from diaries, letters and other historic records the author has taken great care to give the reader a fresh understanding of those tragic days, and remembers the thousands of young Irish lives lost in the forgotten battlefields of Gallipoli.
