Lieutenant Billy Prior is the man in the middle: a child of the British working class raised to the rank of officer and gentleman; a soldier scarred by the horror of World War I but loyal to the men in the trenches; a highly passionate man with withered emotions; and above all, a human being who feels torn in two as he is asked to take sides.
