This is the story of the short life of George Woods, known as
Twiggy, a boy who grew up unnaturally fast, ripped from his friends
and family in the fervour of patriotically duty. He died alone
many, many miles from home. The history books will tell you that
the battle of Messines was one of the few successes in World War I,
the meticulous planning and ruthless implementation destroyed the
German lines, and their morale, allowing Allied troops to make
great gains of territory. Success in war, however, is relative.
There is always a human cost, and this is typified by the short,
and rather insignificant life of Twiggy Woods. This story relives
the trials and horrors that this naive, young New Zealander had to
experience before being cut down, like so many others.
