Actress Christine Absalom of BBC Radio 4's Home Front, weaved through the conditions and emotions of the soldiers at war and the gut-wrenching tales of their wives and sweethearts awaiting their return,
The production which was scored by Sharon and Alison Rhodes gripped the audience as they intertwined songs from the era.
Keeping in theme with the centenary, the audience were served a dinner of ragout MacConnachie and trench pudding.
