With the exception of the two Hemingway pieces, this anthology contains poems, anecdotes and accounts about the British Military beginning with the Boer War of 1899 and ending with the Falklands conflict, Northern Ireland and the Gulf. It contains works from major names like Kipling, Wyndham Lewis, Graves, T.E. Lawrence, then Waugh and Betjeman but in addition there are quite a few stories from previously unpublished people.
