In September 1917, Charley is caught up in the mutiny by troops against harsh treatment at Etaples and faces divided loyalties as the rebellion gathers pace, and is reunited with old friends and finds new enemies. Eventually, back on the front line, he faces death once more as a stretcher bearer at the final battle of Passchendale. The volume includes a modern-day sequence as old soldiers recall fallen comrades - but was Charley one of them?

Rich in the detailed minutiae of the terror-punctuated existence of a Tommy, this seventh volume of Charley’s War features a brand new introduction and director’s commentary by Pat Mills, plus exclusive bonus content examining the Mutiny that inspired the acclaimed and controversial BBC TV series The Monocled Mutineer.
Pat Mills is a venerated comics writer of such legendary titles as Charley’s War, Marshal Law, and Judge Dredd; and creator of a whole slew of famous stories and characters from the pages of British sci-fi flagship 2000 AD—including Flesh, Invasion, Nemesis the Warlock, The ABC Warriors, and Defoe.

Joe Colquhoun (1926–1987) was a British comics illustrator best known for his artwork in Charley's War. The Los Angeles Times called Charley’s War “darkly spectacular” and Publisher’s Weekly said “Colquhoun's dark brushwork is lovingly detailed and horribly convincing.” Early in his comics career, he worked on Roy of the Rovers, Lion, and Tiger.
