Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In the First World War, Ronald Skirth was an ordinary tommy. His experiences were like those of many others, save in one thing. When Skirth went out into No Mans Land after Passchendaele and saw the dead body of a teenaged German soldier, he resolved that he would never again help to take a human life.
