This book is dedicated to all Royal Marines - past, present and future.

In One Step Too Far we follow the adventures of four former

school friends who in 1914 answer General Kitcheners call to fight

for their country. After training they are sent to Gallipoli and not

France and take a full part in the ill-fated expediton. After just

over nine months of fierce fighting and with little progress made

the Allied force was withdrawn and the men were then mostly

sent to fight in France. Added to the horrors experienced in

Gallipoli they now experienced the first gas attacks for which they

were totally unprepared. They take part in many of the great

battles of the war at Verdun, Arras and both of the Somme

offensives. Not all make it to the end of the war, but those who

do will remember the experience for the rest of their lives.
