their training at Sandhurst and are sent to the Middle East; John to
lead a paratroop regiment while Henry commands a platoon of armoured
cars of the Household Brigade. John's father, a disabled ex-Guards officer,
constantly compares him to his elder brother David, killed in the desert
during the war, while his mother still hopes that David is alive and
will one day return. Discovering the truth about his brother's death,
John determines during his own desert campaign to match his brother's
courage and actions. As the Trooping the Colour ceremony takes place,
