A group of schoolboys leave their studies to enlist during wartime, moving through camps and training into front-line service at Château-Thierry. The narrative traces former rivals who reconcile and assume varied duties—scouting, trench fighting, patrols and raids—while confronting capture, reprisals, and the strain of casualties. Episodes emphasize practical learning, leadership under fire, teamwork, and acts of courage, and the story culminates in intense engagements that help secure a hard-won victory and shape the boys' transition from students to seasoned soldiers.
