Whilst this video looks at the wartime service of the main platoon members such as Clive Dunn (Lance Corporal Jones), John Laurie (Private Frazer) and Arnold Ridley (Private Godfrey) it also looks at the stories of some of the lesser known characters too.
Edward Sinclair (Verger Yeatman) who served in the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry but who missed out on the D-Day landings in Normandy.
Bill Pertwee (Warden Hodges) who failed a medical to join the RAF and spent the war in a factory making cannon for spitfires.
Plus we look at Private Walker, Private Sponge and Private Cheeseman, not forgetting Captain Square.
Finally we look at the wartime service of the co-writers of the show, Jimmy Perry and David Croft.
It was Perry's experiences of the Home Guard that led him to write "Dad's Army", and his further experiences with the Royal Artillery concert party in Burma & India that led to another of their classic collaborations: "It ain't half hot mum".

My name is Chris Green and I love to share stories from British history. Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today.
History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.
My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: "Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!"
Just for the record, I do have a history degree in Medieval & Modern history from the University of Birmingham.
