When 10-year-old Archie Albright is given a scrapbook for his birthday in April 1914, he thinks he will fill it with comics, souveniers and funny stories about his family.  But then war breaks out and his life changes forever.  Archie tells the story of the First World War from his point of view, filling his scrapbook with anecdotes about life in London’s East End, newspaper clippings, letters from his Dad and Uncle who are fighting in France and his own war inspired comic strips.
