5903: The Lions of Ypres
During the First World War, 1.3 million Indian soldiers fought alongside the British Army, men like Sepoy Ram Thapar and Lal Mathai who had been brought from the hot climate of India to the frozen, battle-torn wasteland of Ypres, Belgium.
They were unprepared for what horrors awaited them in the muddy trenches but they met the challenge head-on, bravely roaring like lions.

5904: Brave Coward
Lieutenant Guy Merton was no good. As a fighting man, he was an out-and-out failure.
Then something happened — something no-one else knew about — and it turned him from a coward into a first-class fighting fury!

5905: Goat Major
When Huw Arthur joined the Welsh regiment, it quickly became clear he wasn’t much of a soldier. He couldn’t shoot to save his life, and he wasn’t particularly brave. As far as his superiors were concerned, there was only one job he could do…
For decades, the regiment had kept a goat as a mascot, and each goat had a steward — the Goat Major. Huw knew next to nothing about goats, but before long, he’d learn what it means to be a true soldier!

5906: Band of Warriors
Warriors, that’s what they called them — men who could take on the enemy anywhere, any time, and lick him.
The last thing they needed was a coward amongst them, but that’s what they got.
