Following World War II in peacetime Scotland, brigade headquarters replaces commanding officer Major Jock Sinclair, a boisterous battalion leader, with the strict, temperamental Lieutenant Colonel Basil Barrow. Resentful toward his replacement, Sinclair undermines Barrow's authority and damages his successor's reputation among the soldiers. Barrow faces an uphill battle in regaining the discipline and respect of his battalion.

Sending a prayer out to the guy who kept making tea and getting yelled at for doing so. He was just following someone else's orders but gets the tail end of the stick. You're a real trooper, my dude. Keep up the good work.
