Matt Parker's drama is based on the papers of an RSPCA officer who was sent to the front during the First World War with a fund to ease the suffering of the animals used.

When interviewing the soldiers the officer discovered a level of trust and reliance between the animals and their handlers that he never expected, but was dismayed to realise that the most pressing issue was that of carcass disposal.
