Description |
Servicemen from Manchester, Salford and beyond send personal messages back home to their loved ones by speaking directly to camera on location in India. In the opening sequence a truck, with ‘Hello Manchester’ chalked on the side, pulls up and the first group of servicemen leap out of the back. The film closes with the men coming together under a tree to sing ‘She’s a Lassie from Lancashire’. |
