James Heffer was just 16 when World War One broke out, and by June 2015 he was in the trenches as part of The Cambridgeshire Regiment.

His son, the journalist Simon Heffer, explains how his father ended up fighting at such a young age. He reads some extracts from James' diary, written as the Battle of the Somme commenced.
