The Great War, the “War to End All Wars” will end, tomorrow. At the Front, the Armistice would remain clouded in rumour until only a few hours before the Cease-Fire was to go into effect.
For the past three months, constant and bloody scraps have forced the Germans out of the old Front Line; it had been a Hundred Days viciously at the heels of a stubborn enemy; one determined to not give any ground without a fight.
Sergeant Felix Strachan, in command of a distant Observation Post wants nothing more than to keep the rest of his depleted platoon alive long enough to reach an end finally within sight.
Over the hours remaining, Felix will be forced to risk losing everything to get everyone through just one more day.
“Living Just One More Day is Victory Enough”
Killing is a Sin

​
Moments before the men of Six Platoon 'B' Company, King's Own Canadian Scots Regiment will go forward to assault Vimy Ridge, each one of them must reconcile themselves to their probable fate.
Felix Strachan, a teen-aged corporal about to lead his men into battle, has already seen a lot of this war; its arbitrary cruelty to life. In the past eight months he's been fighting in France, he's lost friends and a little of his faith in mankind, though nothing has bothered him more than the death of a stranger- a transferred officer left on the field after a failed patrol.
Not only can no one seem to remember who the officer was, his death may not have been at the enemy's hands. Felix, in the seconds before Zero hour tries to come to terms with a question he has held for as long as he can remember-
​
"What does it mean to die well?"​
