The story
The short version. Drama, 30 episodes on YourChannel. In the autumn of 1944, sixteen-year-old Daniel's severe asthma leaves him unfit for combat, but military law dictates that if his older brother Edward fails to report for duty, Daniel will be forcibly drafted and the family…
The premise is a family forced into an impossible choice by military law. It is autumn 1944. Sixteen-year-old Daniel has severe asthma and is unfit for combat, yet the rules are blunt: if his older brother Edward does not report for duty, Daniel will be forcibly drafted and the family will lose all of its pensions. When Edward goes missing, there is no one left to answer the call — so Evelyn, their sister, decides to answer it in his place.
The series runs 30 episodes in English, with the opening stretch of the story playable on the official YourChannel player. That opening stretch covers the family's predicament, the records altered, and Evelyn's arrival in the 7th Signal Division under Major Blackwood. The later arc follows the mud of Normandy, the comrades she earns, and the slow unraveling of her secret before Dr. Hays and the major, which this page deliberately leaves to the show.
Her sacrifice is the heart of the show. Evelyn alters the enlistment records, binds her chest, and marches into battle under her brother's name. Assigned to the perilous 7th Signal Division under the iron-willed Major Blackwood, 'Edward' is pushed to the physical and emotional limit. The opening arc is built on two layers of danger: the war itself, and the secret that the soldier everyone is watching is not the man they think.
