Keep talking, Milligan. I think I can get you out on Mental Grounds.
Thats how I got in, sir.
Didnt we all.

The second volume of Spike Milligans legendary recollections of life as a gunner in World War Two sees our hero into battle in North Africa - eventually. First, there is important preparation to be done: extensive periods of loitering (We had been standing by vehicles for an hour and nothing had happened, but it happened frequently), psychological toughening (If a man dies when you hang him, keep hanging him until he gets used to it) and living dangerously (no underwear!). At last the battle for Tunis is upon them . . .
