Its all over, Von Arnheim has surrendered and hes very angry.This could mean war . . .

The third volume of Spike Milligans laugh-a-line account of life as a gunner in World War Two resumes on the eve of victory in North Africa. Now Britains looniest war hero must combat some of the direst threats a soldier has ever faced - boredom (Christ, I just thought of Catford), moving camp (Its a sort of Brighton with camels), moving camp again (Were already somewhere else), a visit to Carthage (Its terrible, its like Catford) and a perilous encounter with the gloriously endowed Mademoiselle Villion ("Help! massage," I said weakly).

Against the odds, they survive and are sent at last to Italy to be killed...
