The comraderie and fighting spirit under a good Captain, together with the sentimentality of the home front combine to give you a good account of those dark days.

| Hence your Avatar, hey Patrick?! Geoff, I don't think I've ever seen In Which We Serve but I have found Noel Coward's involvement interesting. Really looking forward to it and the other two arriving next month. Now I just have to find that cheap Battle of the River Plate DVD at Kmart again as my video tape version is a bit worn!
