Cette étude retrace l'histoire des membres de l'Église presbytérienne Mackay qui ont servi pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, de leurs familles restées au pays et de l'Église qui a réagi à cette terrible guerre. Elle se concentre particulièrement sur les dix-neuf hommes qui sont tombés au combat, certains en héros dans des batailles désespérées, d'autres dans des circonstances tragiques ou à la suite d'une maladie.
