Description

This is the true and poignant account of the life and death of a young Scottish officer, Ernest Reid, who was pinned down and fatally wounded in no-man's land on the first day of the Battle of Arras, on Easter Monday, 1917. This gripping narrative does not just set out the events of Captain Reid's life, but also describes the cultural influences-the code of duty, an unquestioning patriotism-that molded him and his contemporaries for service and sacrifice in the killing fields of France and Flanders.
