Deserter saved by gun crew dies a hero in battle

A British soldier Lloyd, branded coward, defies death as his D company fights German trenches. After learning to load a machine gun from a dying man, he fires to repel attackers, saving his unit before a fatal shot ends his life. Posthumous ceremony honors his sacrifice as the men march to the cemetery.

Preparing for the Big Push Behind Allied Lines

The narrator recalls rejoining Atwell after an execution, the secret weighing on them, and patrols at seven in the evening to root out suspicious behavior. Behind the lines, vast troop movements and supplies surge toward the front as Britain’s army prepares for the Somme. Giant guns and caterpillar tractors, some marked Made in USA, symbolize the scale of the looming offensive.
