We were many of us when we went over there, Not many of us returned. Beyond My Grasp is an extraordinary never before published true story about a young German-Canadian farmer, Jacob Miller, who enlists in the Canadian army at the onset of World War I despite his father's wishes.

Jacob struggles to maintain his humanity through many of the great battles: Passchendaele, Somme, Ypres, Vimy, Hill 62 and Amiens.
