Diggers in Blighty
The diggers and their officer, who has fallen for a nurse at the hospital, are subtly manipulated by a British intelligence officer to assist in passing false battle plans to the Germans. Given leave in England, they end up billeted at a country house and offered barley water instead of the home-brew they anticipated.
Directed by Pat Hanna and assisted by acclaimed silent film director Raymond Longford, who also played the role of the German spy.
