Summary: Men of the Yorkshire Regiment being interviewed on various locations in Gibraltar.
Description: The men discuss how they came to be in the army and how they like Gibraltar. Scenes of a band parading for the Changing of the Guard, and a guard patrolling the border with Spain. The garrison NAAFI club. How the men fill in their spare time (one soldier likes sailing, another fishing, potholing activities; the various pubs on the island).
