On the secondary topic: Fans of the kilted movie “Tunes of Glory” might want to read the book that inspired the movie.
To me the book had a different mood and feel to it, and there are several interesting scenes that were not in the movie or not presented in the same way in the movie.
Very enjoyable.

Aye -- the character of Douglas Jackson comes to mind. Allan Rattray in the movie was a combination of Jackson & Rattray in the book.

For anyone who doesn't follow the allusion (and is still reading), Rodger Wilton Young was a WWII infantryman, recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor (posthumous). In Robert A. Heinlein's novel Starship Troopers, the troop transport Rodger Young is named for him, and those are the aforementioned film "Marines" --- actually Mobile Infantry.
