This is the story of three brothers, two of whom were twins, and their service during the last two years of the war. It is about how Joseph and Emil ended up serving together and how they made a point of getting together with their brother and cousin as much as possible while they were in Europe. It is more from the social side of the war; what they did while not on duty and how they tried to deal with the dullness, boredom and fear of war.
