It aims to honor the bravery and sacrifice of the Irish soldiers who fought there, detailing their hardships and the unique challenges they faced as a newly formed division composed largely of inexperienced men. The opening portion of the book serves as an introduction to the 10th (Irish) Division, detailing its establishment shortly after the outbreak of World War I under the command of Major-General Sir Bryan Mahon. It describes how this division was initially created from volunteers across Ireland, emphasizing its diverse makeup, with men from different backgrounds and political beliefs uniting for a common cause.
