The Welsh Horse Yeomanry was formed in 1914, their Commanding Officer being a figure of some controversy. He was a cowboy, gold miner, hunter, and a playwright, but above all he was a Welsh Nationalist. He raised the Regiment almost single handedly, but his outspoken views antagonised powerful interests. This is the story of the subsequent scandal of his treatment, and his regiment's service in Palestine and on the Western Front in WWI.

The author uses cabinet papers, memoirs, official histories and diaries to examine the background to the Allied triumph. He also uses letters and reminiscences from officers and men to heighten the drama of neglected campaigns with almost forgotten incidents. These include: weary troops marching towards Baghdad to sleep where they halted, the cooks who declined the surrender of Jerusalem, and sandbags stuffed with seaweed in order to protect the treasures of Venice. There were four armistices that autumn, as there had been battlefronts on three continents.
