“"There are many excellent history books about the First World War; great poetry, wonderful plays and films, but this story of just one of the millions of men and women who left home and marched off to war tells the tale as powerfully as any. We can't know the millions, but we can know Percy. By understanding how it was for one young man from Wales, we can grasp how it was for them all, on all sides."”
--Michael Morpurgo
