About “How many miles to Babylon?”

Alec, the heir to a large house and only son of a strained marriage, forms a close bond with Jerry, a village boy who shares his love of horses. In 1914, both enlist in the British Army—Alec influenced by his mother's urging to fight for King and Country, Jerry driven by a desire to learn his trade for the Irish Nationalist cause—though their friendship is strained by the horrors of war in Flanders.
