description: Young Corporal Jethro Stanton is comfortable in the militia of the home guard back in England when he's among the troops called to fight with Wellington against Napoleon on the Spanish Peninsula. So it's off to the war, where Jethro --whose social conscience dictates that he must prove his own combat mettle before presuming to be a leader-- proves a coward in his first battle. And before he eventually redeems himself, he is taken prisoner.
