Publisher's Synopsis
The worst has happened. On the eve of their return to Blighty, Brigg and his fellow National Servicemen find themselves sentenced to another six months in Panglin Barracks .Brigg has many familiar characters to keep him company - the odious Sergeant Wellbeloved, the vulnerable Colonel Bromley Pickering and the comically touching Juicy Lucy. But there are new faces as well. There's the fanatical and demented Lieutenant Grainger; the endearing Welshman, Morris Morris; US Private Clay, mysteriously lost in transit by the American Army; and last, but not least, Bernice Harrison, the sporting nurse who threatens to replace the wayward Lucy in Brigg's affections.
