In 1914 when the Army came to town they wanted just one thing - YOU! By 1918, millions of new recruits had left their homes and families, never to return. Eighty years later, a battalion of actors and musicians tell their story. 

A cast of colourful characters swap hats, helmets and sides to give a vibrant and touching account of the four years that shaped the twentieth century.  So pack up your troubles and take your seats for an exhilarating exposé of an unforgettable moment in history.  Featuring the songs 'Keep the Home Fires Burning', 'It's a Long Way to Tipperary' and
'Goodbye-ee'
