The book chronicles the formation, actions, and experiences of the 56th Division during World War I, particularly focusing on significant battles such as Gommecourt and the Somme.

The opening of the work provides a foreword emphasizing the division's critical role during the 1918 campaign, particularly during the second battle for Vimy Ridge. It begins by recounting the assembly of the 56th Division in France and its initial preparations for combat, illustrating both the procedural and human aspects of military organization.
