However, unbeknown to them along with many other people, events are taking place in Europe that will change their lives forever, and the lives of millions of other people, too.
Alex and Daniel join the armed forces, fighting for King and Country for the next three years, knowing that each day could very well be their last day of life.
They are entirely different men, each coming from a different point on the social spectrum but what they see on the Western Front unites them in a way that they might not have been able to comprehend before they faced the horrors of trench warfare.
The novel captures very well the physical and mental deprivations that the soldiers, both men and officers of the line, went through.
And the problems faced by their families back home and the aftermath of the conflict.
It is a thoughtful novel that is well researched ad well written.
It is published by The Book Guild at £9.99.
