Through Fire, Shot and Shell is the third book in a trilogy that began with Over the Hills and Far Away and continued with Over the Hills and O'er the Main. This book of soldiers' stories takes us from the trenches of France and Flanders, to the training camps of Salisbury Plain, then onto the Normandy beaches and beyond, to the stifling deserts of the Middle East, to Mesopotamia, Abyssinia, Palestine and Egypt. Finally, to one soldier's baptism of fire on the hostile streets of Northern Ireland, to Berlin during the Cold War and to the inhospitable Falkland Islands.
