From Eden to Babylon

A filthy barge arrives in Basra full of near-dead British soldiers, wounded, starved and dehydrated without basic care and medicine. A British officer and his team take the poor men off the barge and onto a steamer headed for Bombay and then they are taken by train to a hospital in Northern India. He recognises one badly wounded man who had saved his life in South Africa in the horrendous Boer War some years before. When this man’s sister travels to India from England to nurse him back to health, she falls for his rescuer and they marry after the war in Murree.

World War One action takes place in Mesopotamia, India and South Africa and follows the adventures of members of a family who work and fight together and finally reunite at the family wedding.

O barja murdara ajunge la Basra plina de soldati britanici aproape morti, raniti, infometati si deshidratati fara ingrijiri de baza si medicamente. Un ofiter britanic si echipa sa ii iau pe bietii barci de pe barja si pe un vapor cu aburi indreptat spre Bombay si apoi sunt dusi cu trenul la un spital din nordul Indiei.
