Sergeant Jack Preston was itching to get into the action. As a member of the Royal Corps of Signals he had wanted to be deep in combat, radioing intel right from the front line.

In fact, the Germans had a special invasion plan in place for Crete, and they were about to hit the island, the Allies — and Jack — hard!
