Bob Kerr recreates key events, participants and places. He begins with The Farm, at Brighton, south of Dunedin (where Baxter was arrested) and then to The Waitemata, the ship which took him (and other objectors) to the war front.

At the front trenches, The Duckwalk - a chaotic assemblage of planks - lead out into no-man's land and long this path the objectors were daily dragged or marched then tied to poles and abandoned to the torment of random fate as bullets and bombs bounced between opposing armies.
