From the novel by Paul Scott with Cecile Chevreau and Judith Whale
Radio script and production by Donald McWhinnie
It was only a training exercise-child's play to a man who had seen active service in the jungle of Burma. But playing at soldiers can sometimes be as dangerous as the real thing, particularly when one of the participants has the mark of the warrior on his brow.
