Harry Paget is a young man from a wealthy family. He is intelligent and ambitious, and he dreams of a career in the British Army. When the Boer War breaks out, Harry is eager to prove himself. He joins the Royal Horse Artillery and is soon sent to South Africa.

Harry is quickly thrust into the horrors of war. He witnesses the death of his friends and comrades, and he is forced to make difficult decisions that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
