When World War One broke out in 1914 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tried to enlist in the military, despite being 55. His offer was refused, but he was still active in support of his country, setting about to organise defence units comprised of civilian volunteers, and lobbying on behalf of British servicemen to improve their conditions and safety. While World War One still raged on Conan Doyle began work on 'The British Campaign' in France and Flanders, originally published in six volumes, from which this single volume is an edited selection.
