Summary
2022 REWRITE IN PROGRESS
April 22, 1915: The the first gas attack on the Western Front is launched against French troops at Ypres. French troops flee their first taste of the horror that is modern war. Francis Bonnefoy is caught in the maelstrom.
April 24th, 1915: Second Battle of Ypres, Canada enters the First World War against the German Empire. For the first time in history, a colonial force holds their own against a European power. Matthew Williams holds the line and suffers the consequences.
April 25th, 1915: Hundreds of miles to the East, Australia and New Zealand enter the war. Landing in force, they forge their identity as independent nations under fire at Gallipoli. Jack and Zee Kirkland hold their lives in each other's hands.
May 7th, 1915: A German U-Boat torpedoes the Lusitania, turning American sentiment against the Central Powers. 128 Americans drown in the frigid North Atlantic. Among them is Alfred F. Jones.
Or: That one where Canada, America, Australia, and New Zealand are badasses despite all the odds, Francis and Arthur are too old to be fighting this kind of war, and everyone has daddy issues in one trench or another.
