The narrative explores the early days of World War I, focusing on the volunteers who answered Kitchener's call in August 1914. Initially dismissed as "Kitchener's Mob" by seasoned soldiers, these men quickly became integral to the British war effort, fighting across multiple fronts including France, Belgium, and Africa. The story reflects on the transformation of these volunteers from hopeful recruits to battle-hardened veterans, questioning who will return home once the conflict concludes.
