THE SQUARE PEG (1958)

JOHN PADDY CARSTAIRS

Plot

It's the Second World War and Norman Pitkin is desperately keen to help in the war effort. A road mender by profession, he and his colleague Mr Grimsdale are recruited into the army and posted to France. From there it is a short but unlikely journey behind enemy lines and a farce driven attempt to rescue British prisoners from the non-plused Germans.
