However, WTF was this guy doing alone in an "outpost" subject to military action? This is either:
(a)an heroic story destined to live for all time in the annals of Victoria Cross Winners, Huzzah! GSTQ!
(b) an example of cock-up military misfeasance unknown in even the British Army since Dickie Mountbatten got blown up,
(c) bullshiite.
PS: Saw Errol Flynn in "Lives of the Bengal Lancers." This episode could also be plagiarism. I'll wait for the award ceremony before making my mind up.
