A sweet boy goes to war and soon meets with the harsh realities of life on the Somme. 15 year old Private Paul Mason of Twenty-two Company King's Fusiliers unwittingly journeys into the path of the Shelby Brothers of the 179 Tunnelling Company. Thrown into the brutality of war, both groups of men must fight prejudice, injustice and greed. The men fight to survive not only the trenches and tunnels, but the enemy within. Tommy is driven to battle a corrupt and dangerous superior as he strives to avenge the death of a friend. A darkness threatens to consume Tommy, but can the good that is seen in the innocence of a young boy keep Tommy from losing himself forever? As the war ends and the men return home, a new era awaits a now changed and embittered sergeant. A strange and mystical creature in the form of a black and white cat follows Tommy. Is its presence just an oddity, or does the cat represent something far more personal to Tommy? ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND DISCLAIMERS. A fictional story based on true events of WW1.
