"Groups of friends from towns and villages up and down the country joined up together to create The Pals Battalions, with dreams of high adventure and a swift end to the fighting... But history tells us that this dream all too quickly became a nightmare.

Based on a true story, The Accrington Pals tells the tale of the men that went away and the women they left behind, whose fortunes are not always what you'd expect and whose lives would never be the same again."
