Annotation
In April 1916, shortly before the commencement of the Battle of the Somme, a fire started in a vast munitions works located in the Kentish marshes. The resulting series of explosions killed 108 people and injured many more. This book recreates the events of that terrible day and sheds an unexpected light on the British home front in the Great War.
