The young men who would become the Old Contemptibles are brought to vibrant life in this beautifully crafted and gripping tale from of the opening battles of World War One Summer,1913, and 17 year old Harry finds his dream job as live-in stable hand for the gentle, artistic Darius Maitland-Wier, son of Liberal politician and Boer War hero Earl Augustus Wier.
The unmarried last of the line, Darius is brother to two warring half-sisters, the withdrawn and unfathomable Rosalind and willful Suffragette Beatrice.
When Harry and Rosalind find happiness, Beatrice decides she wants Harry, too. Enraged when Harry rejects her, Beatrice tips the already dysfunctional family into fatal crisis and Rosalind into a tail-spin of self-destruction.
After a year of watching Rosalind destroy herself, Darius decides he must make peace between she and Harry.
But to do so, he must find him, and confront his own frailties as Harry's exhausted and outnumbered East Surreys face the German Army at Mons. Too often over-looked in film and books on World War One, Angel brings the Old Contemptibles to life in this tale from of the opening battles of World War One, over the Conde-Mons canal in Belgium, and the do-or-die Battle of Le Cataeu, where defeat would have meant the end of the BEF, and of France.
Woven through historical events are real-life members of the 1st Battalion East Surreys, pre-war British politics and beyond in this gripping Great War story.
