He is placed in charge of "Nelson Watch," which consists of 12 boys from all walks of British life, including the usual juvenile delinquent, a dictatorial bully, and a kid afraid of heights. He is a harsh commander and fails to appreciate some of their problems in light of what he has been through. Written by Les Adams See less
