Synopsis
All his life, Albert Webb had dreamt about getting out of the slums of his hometown in the north of England. From a poor family, Albert was desperate to find a better life away from the relentless backbreaking drudgery of the cotton mills and the hand-to-mouth existence that had gripped his family for generations.Then, just as things start to improve for the young man, war breaks out and Albert enlists in the army with his mates. He joins the Accrington Pals and soon finds himself in a trench on the Western Front about to 'go over the top' on the opening day of the Battle of the Somme. It's there where he learns the true meaning of friendship and courage. It's there he must confront all his youthful fears and inhibitions to become a man.On that fateful day in July 1916, in the midst of battle, his youth dies along with so many of his friends. Amidst the carnage of battle, Albert has to find his inner strength simply to survive.Pals tells of growing up in poverty and then coming of age in battle. And it tells of coming home and facing the demons of war, finding your feet and your place in the world.
