Captain William Cull fought the First World War from both sides of the wire. As a young infantry officer on the Allied side, he took part in bitter fighting on the Western Front and on the Somme at Pozieres. In February 1917 he was severely wounded in a futile attack on the German trenches at Gueduecourt and taken prisoner by the Germans.

He spent the remainder of the war as a POW. This book is based on the memoir "At All Costs" that Captain Cull wrote in the months after his repatriation to Australia in October 1918.
