Based on a series of privately-published letters by a young officer, killed in 1916. This riveting production is a first hand account of the state of mind of a young man, joining up in the full flush of patriotism, whose experiences left him disillusioned and appalled. The young officer was 2nd Lieut. Haviland de Mesurier, who had he lived, would have been the uncle of John le Mesurier, now best remembered for his role in Dad's Army. A play for one remarkable young man.
