This looks like 55 Days at Peking but without Charlton Heston or David Niven.
BTW: is Niven, one of my fav cinema stars, still with the Commandos?

Agent Larkin The same Christopher Lee who is also Ian Fleming's cousin? Well, he is actually working in Intelligence, but Ian hasn't met him. Yet.
It's that yet that fills me with such hope.
Well, it has to be done properly.
George Orwell (bet he's having a very interesting war?)
Agreed, but from what I've read this early in the war the Japanese usually only did that when the Officer Commanding felt cornered or was exceptionally stupid. Here the 42nd Army is graced with a commanding Officer who not only has a brain but is still willing to use it. This will change though if/when they feel their feet getting wet at the Western Coast of the Island. Where the Germans would have evaced their troops to Sumatra (see Sicily to Italy after Husky) the Japanese will fight it out.
Raaritsgozilla For real? Not that I don't believe you, but in the first volume of Milligans autobiography (which is incredibly funny) you hear a lot about 'the band'.
