Summary: A picture story book for children about the littlest hero in a very big war. Bobby is a tiny canary, whose best friend is Jack, a soldier in one of the tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers. Jack's job is to dig in the tunnels, while Bobby's job is to warn the men to get out quickly when there's dangerous gas. Bobby's warnings save the tunnellers' lives again and again. But Jack worries that it's a hard life for a little bird and wonders if Bobby will ever be free to fly again.
