A photograph of three friends on the football field, taken in 1912. Less than five years later, all three would be killed and buried beneath the fields of Belgium. This story is typical of many schoolboys across Britain who signed up for or were conscripted to fight in the First World War. In this groundbreaking book, historian Alexandra J. Churchill tells the story of the Great War through an extraordinary band of brothers from Britain's most famous public school.
