******************************************************************************
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.
