He also had with him the veterans of his Irish Patrol, plus Pipo – the mischievous Lion of Leros. Unfortunately, the evil-smelling Dog Tom had somehow been left behind. Yet now that his wish had been granted and he’d got to join the ‘big war’, Lassen would find himself increasingly fettered by its rules and confounded by its regulations.
