The planes kept flying low above them. The signal rang out and they surged forward through the smoke. Thousands of men screaming and yelling, their line was kilometres wide. Behind them came Monash's tanks, those huge, new mobile machines. They smothered the land, flattening the crops and then any wire left standing. With Russia out of the war, the Germans have sent all the troops to the Western Front. Almost defeated, a small group of Australians join the fighting to hold the enemy back at Villers-Brettoneux. Weary after years of deadlock, Ned knows that the war will be lost if they can't turn the tide. Will Ned ever see his family, or his brother, again?"--Back cover.
