Summary: Army recruiting advertisement.
Description: Opening sequence shows an armoured column of camouflaged Saladin and Ferret Mk II armoured cars and a Saracen APC on the move in arid country. Vehicles draw up and troops disembark from APC. CU as men (17th Lancers) take aim with SLRs. The scene then alternates between off duty pleasures - boating, relaxing in company with a WRAC - and further action shots - firing an 84mm recoilless rifle at a hulked Land Rover, commander of an opened up Saracen speaking into W/T. Narration is a simple appeal for willing men who want a "bigger job" and a "bright, secure future".
