This awardwinning factual series draws on a unique collection of one hundred interviews with World War One veterans in which the soldiers and their loved ones relive all the heroism and heartbreak of the years from 1914 to 1918. Most of these men had never been interviewed before or since. All the voices are now silent.

The aftermath of every battle was human carnage on an unimaginable scale. One of the most demanding and heartbreaking jobs was that of the nurses, doctors and medical orderlies who tended to the wounded and the dying. Their stories are set alongside the victims the gassed, the shellshocked and the amputees, who always remembered who saved them.
