Tha na prògraman ag innse sgeulachd a' Chogaidh Mhòir 1914-1918, tro shùilean cuid dhe bha beò tro na bliadhnaichean brùideil sin agus a' sàs ann, neo a' fulang air a shà illeabh.

Tha sgrìobhaidhean gach fear agus tè dhiubh seo a' lìbhrigeadh cùisean gu fìrinneach tron eòlas fhèin, rud nach eil tric ann an tùsan eachdraidheil, le sgeulachdan cumhachdach là n faireachdainnean mu chall pearsanta, gaol, eagal, crà dh agus trom mhulad. Mar sin, tro dhrà ma dhlùth-aithriseach chumhachdach, tha an luchd-amhairc a' faighinn sealladh dhen chogadh as brùideile a chunnaiceas riamh, tro bheachdan agus shùilean nan truaghan a bha na mheasg neo na phà irt dheth.

Chogaidh Mhòir a' taisbeanadh fèin-fhiosrachadh mic-an-duine eadar 1914-1918, gun ghuth air mìneachaidhean eachdraidheil.
Based on letters and journals, many of which have never been published before, this programme tells the story of 1914-18 solely through the eyes of those who lived through it.
Featuring the stories of a young Cossack girl's experience of a gas attack on the Russian front, an Austrian soldier's despair as he is transported to Siberia, the desperate attempts of a Scottish volunteer nurse to help the survivors of the genocide in Armenia, a traumatised Italian American who believes he is possessed by the Holy Spirit, a British officer who has to act as tour guide for an MP, a German soldier who witnesses the horrors of the Somme and a German schoolgirl who is drawn into a brief romance with a young airman.
Their writings focus on what archive and historical analysis cannot reveal - personal tragedy, love, fear, pain and grief. Through glorious dramatic reconstruction, viewers experience the greatest war mankind had ever seen from the perspective of what it was like at the time.
