Beschreibung

When Palin first heard that his grandfather had a brother, Harry, who died in tragic circumstances, he was determined to find out more. Travelling from Harry's childhood home in the UK to India and New Zealand, to the slaughtering grounds of Gallipoli and the Western Front, he found that he was an ordinary man who led an extraordinary life.
