******************************************************************************
1914-1918: for three generations, members of the Blackwood family have served the Royal Marines with distinction. With the outbreak of World War I , at last comes Jonathan Blackwood's turn to carry the family name into battle.

But as the young marines embark for the Dardanelles , and a new kind of warfare, it dawns on them that the days of scarlet coats and an unchanging tradition of honour and glory have gone forever. First in Gallipoli , and two years later at Flanders , comes their horrifying initiation into a wholesale slaughter for which no training could ever have prepared them.

Caught up in the savagery of a conflict beyond any officer's control, Blackwood's future rests on the 'horizon' - the dark lip of the trench which was the last fateful sight for so many.
