Queen and Country (NR)

synopsis

9-year-old Bill Rohan rejoices in the destruction of his school by an errant Luftwaffe bomb. The story picks up nearly a decade later as Bill begins basic training in the early Fifties, during the Korean War. Bill is joined by a trouble-making army mate, Percy. They never get near Korea, but engage in a constant battle of wits with the Catch-22-worthy Sgt. Major Bradley. Their superior, the veddy, veddy infinitely put-upon, aptly-named Major Cross.
