This dvd captures the excitement and euphoria that a young officer experiences when they believe they are going to go to war and be home in time for afternoon tea and medals

The dvd concentrates on the life and career of a young platoon commander in the scots guards illustrating very well the idea young boys and young men have regarding war and the false belief that its all knights in armour and a damsel in distress rather than the horror and devastation that is the reality

The film shows the build up in london of an unprepared regiment conducting guard and drill public duties prior to deploying to a harsh environment to fight a determined enemy

If your an ex soldier or military enthusiast this is an excellent dvd that gives a realistic insight into the attitudes and expectations of the soldiers and realities of the falklands war
