A compilation of psalms, poetry, stories and prayers to mark the centenary of the First World War, beautifully illustrated with contemporary artwork, this is testament to the men who faced death on the battlefield.

Reflecting upon this material, students may appreciate that the ordinary and mundane can become sacred under such conditions, and may be moved to treat such work with reverence, hearing in it a cry to God.
