The eight brave brothers from the Lord family all returned from battle virtually unscathed, despite a number of close calls and minor injuries.
Big brother Sidney was joined in the fight against the Germans by Gilbert, Ted, Will, Arthur, Frank, Len and Jim Lord.
The youngest brother, who was just 14 at the time, was so desperate to do his duty for King and country he borrowed an older brother's birth certificate to enlist.
All eight miraculously returned home to High Wycombe, Bucks., and King George V even wrote the family a letter thanking them for their combined war efforts.
Jansen Lord, the son of the third eldest brother Frank, reckons it was down only to sheer luck that they all lived to tell their remarkable tale.
