Nicknamed the little league of nations, six lifelong friends from the Northern Ontario town of Lowvert watch as the opening months of World War II unfold before them on the newsreels, debating when and if they should get into the fight. … Soldier Boys isn’t a “true story,” because it is peopled by fictional characters. But the story of these fictional characters is absolutely true to what happened to thousands of young Canadians who volunteered to fight Nazi Germany on the battlefields of Europe. It is a story of their “blood, sweat and tears.” It is a story all should honour and none forget.’ (from rear wrap)
