Night Shifts at the Poppy Factory

Derek Blyth's Night Shifts at the Poppy Factory is the story of a group of 18-year-olds who set off to the Somme to visit the graves of local heroes who died in the First World War. But when they get there they find out that most of the dead don't have graves. And few of them were heroes. This first novel about love and loss has elements of Catcher in the Rye, Hamlet and All Quiet on the Western Front.
