Greatcoats On! Greatcoats Off!

Jim Miller

Join Toby Trelauney-Fitzgibboncrest, his gentleman’s gentleman, Marvin ‘Ox’ Oxnard, Sergeant J.P. Clyde and Lieutenant Colonel ‘Jackrabbit’ Schultzberger as they suffer through the ill-fated ventures of Lieutenant Arthur Bowles as he inflicts himself on the Canadian Army of the 1960s. Toby, mistakenly listed as AWOL from the British Army, is an English Earl with an ex-Staff Sergeant turned manservant. They meet Lieutenant Arthur Bowles, a bazooka-carrying idiot, at the MacCammon Recruit Depot at Camp Gagetown, New Brunswick. Joining them in their misadventures is a bungling crew of British officers who fly to Canada in order to kidnap the innocent Earl and return him to England. Throw in an improbable way to prepare poached eggs, a women’s basketball team, a Bowles-destroyed bridge, an ambush gone sideways, a self-chloroformed Major, a head-on collision with a combine harvester and you have the ingredients for an hilarious military farce. Greatcoats On! Greatcoats Off! is a riotous tale of incompetence triumphing over common sense!
