After the German invasion of the Channel Islands, the MOD launches a raiding party to rescue a prize cow that the Nazis covet. The story is based on a real incident told to Tickell ten years after the war by an army officer.
Although there are touches of romantic comedy to this tale, it is nonetheless a serious drama.
[There was also a 1951 film with David Niven and Glynis Johns]
