In 1982, Kit Fraser tracked down and interviewed ten surviving Bantams soldiers of the Great War, then in their 80s, who told their poignant story in his BBC radio documentary. They were small men - 50,000 of them - strong and able bodied miners, dockers and farm labourers - turned away from recruitment offices because they were below the regulation height of 5ft 3". The book features the large amount of unbroadcast material describing in their own words their bitter battle to overcome that obstacle and to play their part in the popular war against the Hun, as the 35th and 40th Bantam Divisions; of having to take two sandbags off the trench wall in order to see and fire on the enemy; of medals awarded for fearless acts of courage; and of the loss of comrades in their thousands to snipers, machine guns, bayonets and constant shell bursts. It also describes the flaw in recruitment which allowed under-age boys and unfit men to join up and which ultimately led to the loss of Bantam status from the 35th. "The 40th though fought on to their Last Stand - a battle which would become the defining moment for this extra-ordinary and largely forgotten body of soldiers - at Bourlon Wood. After a fierce battle over three days, the diminutive troops triumphed and took Bourlon Wood but it was a bittersweet victory, with the calamitous loss of over 4000 men. So few Bantams survived that the 40th too lost its Bantam status. An extra-ordinary story, though oddly, perhaps conscious of the authorities' recruitment lapses, regimental histories paid the Bantams scant attention. In this in-depth telling of the Bantams story, using the unbroadcast words of the surviving Bantams themselves recovered from the edit suite floor, Kit Fraser sets the record straight.

Raised in Birkenhead in 1914 the Bantams were unique as the average height of the volunteers was a mere five foot! Previously denied the opportunity to serve, these men seized this chance to join up. As a result the battalions comprised working class men from all over Britain - Welsh miners, sturdy London dockers, Lancashire mill workers and Merseyside laborers. As part of 35th (Bantam) Division, the Bantams fought on the Somme. The Bantams' casualties were so severe that by early 1917 the Division effectively ceased to exist. Thereafter reinforcements came from the General Pool. They suffered heavily again at Houlthust Forest. The 35th Division played a key part in stopping the German 1918 offensive. Some 900 members of these Battalions lost their lives in The Great War.

In May 1916 Major Eustace Lockhart Maxwell, a former Indian cavalry officer, was given command of an infantry battalion in France. After 48 hours with his new unit, Maxwell wrote to his family: The outstanding characteristic of those who belong to it seems to be their extraordinary self-complacency! Esprit de corps is a fine thing, but the satisfaction with which they regard themselves, their battalion, its internal economy, its gallantry, its discipline, its everything else, is almost indecent! If at the end of a month my opinion of them is half as good as their own, I shall think myself uncommonly lucky. This was the 23rd Manchester Bantam Battalion, a unit entirely composed of men of a height between 5ft and 5ft 3, and its esprit de corps was about to be severely tested. The Bantams left colorful, characterful, moving and often amusing records of their experiences. Using a wealth of previously unpublished sources, this book follows the Manchester men through their training, their experiences of the Somme and the Third Ypres Campaign, to Houthulst Forest where, in October 1917, the Battalion was practically annihilated.
