Trama
Allo scoppio della prima guerra mondiale l'entusiasmo delle alte sfere militari inglesi sale alle stelle: la propaganda bellica esalta l'eroismo e il patriottismo. I cinque fratelli Smith, sull'onda dell' entusiasmo, si arruolano, ma al fronte troveranno la morte.
Popolari giochi di guerra con canzoni, battaglie e qualche battuta
