Written and devised by KEITH DARVILL with Freddie Jones as Jack Brown
At the outbreak of the second World War Jack Brown , a solicitor's clerk in Yorkshire, was with a Territorial battalion in Dewsbury. On call-up, his company, raw and relatively untrained, was sent to serve in France. He spent approximately eight weeks overseas and during that period he kept a diary - now in the Imperial War Museum. In it he recorded that side of the war which was very different from the one presented by the newsreaders, the politicians and the propagandists on the Home Front. With the voices of: DENIS MCCARTHY , HENRY STAMPER DAVID BRIERLEY , NIGEL ANTHONY BETTY BASKCOMB , WILLIAM EEDLE RONALD HERDMAN , ROLF LEFEBVRE Songs sung by JOHN HOLLIS Harmonica played by ALFIE KAHN
