During the Great War, 116 young men who had attended Blackburn Orphanage in Lancashire, went to war to fight for their King and their Country. Fifteen of them never returned. One of them was only recorded by his name, William North ... the forgotten orphan.
His story is imagined in this play, which recounts how a generation of ordinary men did an extraordinary thing.
