Issue Description

Private Hubert Wellington was a real nice chap - keen, well-meaning, anxious to please. There was only one thing wrong - anything he got involved in was doomed to disaster! And what was his job? He was an explosives expert! Yes, every man in Hubert's platoon gritted his teeth and waited for the world to end with a big, big bang...

Introduction

When Stuart Duncan e-mailed his request to see this one again, I had my doubts. Its Ian Kennedy cover was a cracker but the story looked just a little bit comical to be a good Commando. But he wasn't alone in asking for it so I decided to read it again. What a surprise! Despite the cover and the apparently bumbling hero, this is one hard-hitting Commando, beautifully realised in great detail by Pat Wright. Without giving the game away, with a change of uniforms and locations, this could be a contemporary story. It could be the work of a genius.
