The young officer was 2nd Lieut. Haviland de Mesurier, who had he lived, would have been the uncle of John le Mesurier, now best remembered for his role in Dad's Army. A play for one remarkable young man. Over the last three years, Two's Company have been bringing a series of remarkable plays back to life. They tell the stories of soldiers, British, German and French and also those left at home, mothers, wives and the girls who would never marry.
