The story

The title character is General Victor Church, a proud World War I veteran who lives alone in a large house with his WW1 batman, Bates, and a few servants. Church was highly decorated in WWI, including a Victoria Cross and the Distinguished Service Order. At the onset of WW2 he goes to Whitehall to talk Major-General Lord Ottershaw (who was his adjutant in WW1) at the War Office to seek an active role in the War, after his numerous letters went unanswered.
