******************************************************************************
1914-1918:
for three generations, members of
the Blackwood family
have served
the Royal Marines
with distinction. With the outbreak of
World War I
, at last comes
Jonathan Blackwood's
turn to carry the family name into battle.
But as the young marines embark for
the Dardanelles
, and a new kind of warfare, it dawns on them that the days of scarlet coats and an unchanging tradition of honour and glory have gone forever. First in
Gallipoli
, and two years later at
Flanders
, comes their horrifying initiation into a wholesale slaughter for which no training could ever have prepared them.
Caught up in the savagery of a conflict beyond any officer's control, Blackwood's future rests on
the 'horizon'
-
the dark lip of the trench which was the last fateful sight for so many
.
