About this listen

Seven-year-old Harold Thomas watches his father board a train bound for the battlefields of the Great War. What happens next will test him as brutally as any combat.

The home front isn’t safe. It’s a battlefield of its own—where boys become men overnight, where winter kills without mercy, where one mistake can end everything. Where survival demands the same discipline, the same sacrifice, the same relentless courage required in the trenches overseas.

The Great War shaped a generation. Not just the soldiers who fought.
But the boys they left behind.
This is their story.
Raw. Powerful. Unforgettable.
