Private's Progress


 

The action takes place during The Second World War and follows the adventures of a young undergraduate Stanley Windrush (Ian Carmichael) who is conscripted into the British Army. Unlike his friend Egan (Peter Jones), Windrush is a most reluctant soldier and struggles through basic training at Gravestone barracks. Failing his officer selection board, he is posted to a holding unit, under the command of Major Hitchcock. Most of the soldiers are malingerers and drop-outs.
