Publisher's Synopsis
Follow Major Daniel Byrne on his journey both through the trenches and upwards through the ranks of the British Army as he leads his fearless band of 'Knaves', formed as a crack special unit made up of childhood friends from the mining towns of the north east of England. Whitehead's 'Pals War' is a personal insight into life on the frontline of the First World War, centred on a group of young men who grew up together and now form a unique and elite band of fighters tasked with covert operations and intelligence gathering on the frontline during 1915.
