Description
"In Singapore in 1960, a crop of young British soldiers are trained in the arts of love and war in this darkly comic examination of the perils, tedium and confusion that dominate the day-to-day life in ranks. Philippa ... the daughter of British Sergeant Major Raskin, is the singular object for the sexual speculations of the raw recruits known as the 'virgin soldiers'"--Container.
