It notes Empey's service, the grim realities of trench life, bolstered by moments of humor and danger, including over the top pushes, dugout visits, and the senseless exchanges across no man’s land.
The narrator recalls volunteering for a machine gun course at St. Omar then returning to front line duty. A bombing raid yields twenty one German prisoners, including Carl Schmidt of the Bavarian unit, whom he befriends.
