The true and extraordinary story of the satirical newspaper created
in the mud and mayhem of the Somme, interspersed with comic
sketches and spoofs from the vivid imagination of those on the
front line. In a bombed out building during the First World War in
the French town of Ypres (mispronounced Wipers by British
soldiers), two officers discover a printing press and create a
newspaper for the troops. Far from being a sombre journal about
life in the trenches, they produced a resolutely cheerful,
subversive and very funny newspaper designed to lift the spirits of
the men on the front line.
