When Willie Comes Marching Home

When Willie Comes Marching Home

His story is taken from Government films ... because they didn't want it !

When Willie leaves home to join the war effort he is all ready to become a hero, but he is only frustrated when his posting ends up to be in his home town, and he is recruited into training, keeping him from the action. However, when he finds himself accidently behind enemy lines he unexpectedly becomes a hero after all.
