Description
Guy Crouchback, a Catholic and a gentleman, is commissioned into the Royal Corps of Halberdiers during the war years 1939-45. His experience is marked by both high comedy and the harsh realities of war. As he navigates the challenges of military life, Crouchback discovers that true heroism lies not in grand actions, but in the everyday humanity of those around him.
