...and I shan’t ask what you’re doing while I’m abroad, or how you wait, but quick, tell me why I am going before it is too late. Siegfried Sassoon

In 1914 when the Army came to town they wanted just one thing – you! By 1918, millions of new recruits had left their homes and families and never returned. Ninety years later, a battalion of actors and musicians tell their story.

A cast of colourful characters swap hats, helmets and sides to give a vibrant and touching account of the four years that shaped the twentieth century. Prepare to take your seats for an often moving exposé of an unforgettable moment in history.
