Air ais anns a' chiad leth dhen bhliadhna 1914, b' ann tro leabhraichean na sgoile neo ann am p脿ipearan-naidheachd a bu mhotha a bha sluagh ag ionnsachadh mu chogaidhean. Ach, nuair a chaidh oighre r矛oghail Na h-Ostair a mhurt ann an Sarajevo meadhan na bliadhna sin, sgap an cogadh fad is farsaing agus dh'fh脿s iad uile mion-e貌lach air an uabhas a bha na chois. Am measg nan sgeulachdan sa phr貌gram seo tha cuid bho bhanaltram-taiceil Albannach a dh'fhalbh dhan Bheilg leis an Arm Bhreatannach mar ph脿irt do dh'onair n脿iseanta; nighean Chossagach a lean a h-athair dhan bhl脿r; m脿thair Ghearmailteach a dh'fhulang bristeadh-cridhe b脿s a mic; balach-sgoile Frangach a chunnaic a dh霉thaich fo smachd nan Gearmailteach; nighean-sgoile Ghearmailteach nach robh math facal Fraingis a chleachdadh sa chlas; agus bho fhear-naidheachd 貌g a bh' air a sh脿rachadh air s脿illeabh aois. Tha leabhraichean-latha gach fear agus t猫 dhiubh seo a' l矛bhrigeadh c霉isean gu f矛rinneach tron e貌las fh猫in, rud nach eil tric ann an t霉san eachdraidheil, le sgeulachdan cumhachdach l脿n faireachdainnean mu chall pearsanta, gaol, toileachas, cr脿dh agus trom mhulad.

Mar sin, tro dhr脿ma dhl霉th-aithriseach chumhachdach, tha an luchd-amhairc a' faighinn sealladh dhen chogadh as br霉ideile a chunnaiceas riamh, tro bheachdan agus sh霉ilean nan truaghan a bha na mheasg neo na ph脿irt dheth.

eachdraidheil.
