Raised in Glasgow in the early months of 1915, the 'Wee Fellas' is
the nickname given to a bantam battalion made up of volunteers
below the army minimum regulation height of 5ft 3in. However, their
deficiency in size and weight is compensated for by an inbred
toughness and native cunning which works to their advantage in the
trenches of the Western Front. One of the volunteers is Billy
Stirling, a billiard hall manager in civilian life but more
surreptitiously a protection racketeer and expert with the open
razor, as enemies discover to their cost. A reluctant recruit,
Billy joins the colours for reasons that have nothing to do with
patriotism. But despite a fearsome reputation, this son of the
tenements unexpectedly goes on to find true love in the alien
environment of a rural English village - and moral redemption on
the bloody battlefields of northern France.
