Phillip Maddison, a young officer and veteran of the battles of 1914, 1915, and 1916 is obsessed with the Great War. He is never near enough to it and manages to return to battle each morning because the girl he loved was killed in a Zeppelin raid and because he is sustained by the friendship of comrades who like him. He has found himself in a world of death, which he endures with the help of whiskey, water, and an unnatural courage.
