In recent years, angels have become more popular. We have pictures depicting them in our homes; we read stories about supernatural interventions which we attribute to them; we have angel figurines displayed in our homes.

We are comforted by the idea that we have an entity looking out for us, albeit a mostly unseen one.

This week's article will examine a tale from the First World War in which an army of angels apparently came to the aid of outnumbered British troops.
