Edward is destined to see plenty of action, though separated from his comrades and his nurse sweetheart, he's eventually reassigned to the cavalry and sent not to Europe but to Palestine, where he takes part in action against the Turks and witnesses atrocities on both sides that disabuse him of any lingering notion of the glory of war or the righteousness of revenge. The Canadian teen is promptly shipped off for training in England, where a friend of the family manipulates his orders to get Edward assigned to breaking horses, even through he aches to be at the front slaughtering Huns to avenge his brother. News of his brother's death on a World War I European battlefield sends underage Edward Bathe off to lie his way into the army.
