It is the summer of 1939, and Europe stands on the brink of a war that will soon engulf the world. In north London, three young men in search of adventure volunteer to fight for their country and fast become friends. In this first-hand account, these three soldiers, Ted, Bill and Frank, relate their colourful experiences of life - and death - on the frontline as the war takes them through the Rommel-controlled deserts of Egypt, the savage massacres of Cyprus and the struggle for survival in Sicilian POW camps.

Exhilirating, poignant and hilarious by turns, Ted, Bill & Frank's War is the true story of friendships forged in the fires of war, told in the salty words of the rank and file.
