It’s 1916 and British Captain Fred Roberts (Ben Chaplin,The Thin Red Line) and his detachment discover an abandoned printing press in the ruins of Ypres, Belgium. Roberts has an idea – he will produce a newspaper to raise the spirits of his soldiers. They call it The Wipers Times – after the army slang for Ypres – and fill it with spoofs, jokes, and subversive comedy.
