The work captures the essence of the British military ethos during a tumultuous period of colonial engagements. The collection features a variety of poems that reflect on different aspects of military life, including the struggles of war, the bonds formed between soldiers, and the realities of army duty. Through vivid imagery and a conversational tone, Wallace presents characters such as soldiers grappling with the harshness of battle and personal fears or offering commentary on their experiences through humorous or poignant observations.
