It is December 6, 1917, just after the battle of Passchendaele. A small group of soldiers are returning to the line after recovering from injuries. They are replacements being added to a unit in a quiet part of the line just north of the Belgian city of Ypres, all of whom are strangers to each other and the units around them. So, as a stopgap they are being delivered to the 255th Battalion of the King’s Regiment (Liverpool).
