Set in the year 1916, fourth-year medical student Bartholomew Bandy decides that it is time to join the War. The prim young Canadian expects that he will have few problems remaining clean and virtuous. But he is aware that his bland, horse-like face drives people crazy, and that he has a certain tendency to be accident-prone. How will the war affect him, and vice versa? The realities of trench war at the front provide a contrasting backdrop for his adventures, as he happens to come into contact with all sorts of people, both fictional and historical (the King, Lester Pearson, and Winston Churchill).
