The story follows the experiences of Her Majesty's 404th Fusiliers as they march through treacherous mountain terrain in the service of the British Empire. The book captures the camaraderie and youthful spirit of the soldiers, particularly focusing on characters like Private Bill Gedge and Lieutenant Bracy, as they face both the challenges of their environment and the threat posed by hostile hill tribes.
