Through The Gates of Hell Tom Gemmell

Through The Gates of Hell BY Thomas Gemmell The story of one man's struggle to survive the horrors of the first world war. As a member of the 185th Nova Scotia Highlanders the most inexperienced unit in the Canadian Army. He is thrust headlong into the 1917 battle for Vimy Ridge, a turning point in the war, Can they win through against an enemy who has had three years to fortify the position, and achieve a much needed victory where others have failed. Can he hold himself together, as he thinks of his loved ones back home, Wishing that he was back there with them instead of leaning against the trench wall waiting for the signal to charge at an unforgiving enemy. He must win through! He has no other choice!
