A World War One play; Ackerley's first book and only published play, based on his own experiences in the conflict and notable for its frank depiction of homosexuality within this setting. The printed dedication is to Ackerley's father, his relationship with whom formed the subject of his final great work - the memoir 'My Father and Myself'.
