5175: Home of Heroes: Michael’s War
While his family fought on land and the sea, Lieutenant
Michael Weekes took to the sky in his Armstrong Whitworth FK8, sweeping over
German archies in the lead up to the Saint‑Mihiel offensive. Reconnaissance and
fighter, Michael’s plane did more than its fair share of shooting.
But after crash-landing behind enemy lines, armed with only
his Webley revolver and wits, Michael Weekes came face to face with a front of
a different kind…

5176: Gold Collection: Flames of War
A line on a map separated British and German colonies in
East Africa, but that meant nothing to Tom Denning and Hans Block. They had always
been friends as boys, but when war came in 1914, they were put on opposite
sides. It made them enemies.
And then they were both posted to France to experience the
horrors of trench warfare at first hand. There their friendship would face its
toughest test ever in the flames of war…

5177: Action and Adventure: Billy’s War
Lieutenant Billy Weekes wanted desperately to see some
action aboard the British Destroyer HMS Meadfoot. He had two brothers in the
trenches, one in the skies, and a sister on the front line as an ambulance
driver. They would all have amazing stories about their war experiences, but
Billy… all he had to talk about was the weather reports.
That is, until a U-boat went rogue after ignoring the order
to return to port, and the HMS Meadfoot was tasked with bringing it in.

5178: Silver Collection: The Condemned Men
The chances of survival were poor for the officers and men
in action in the trenches during the First World War. They all knew it, and
courageously got on with the dangerous job at hand.
One British officer found this harder than most, though. He
was as brave as the next man, but he had a secret he knew he must try to keep
to himself – a secret so frightening it will chill your blood…
