Khaki Malarkey: And the Purple Privates

Rodney Yurkovitch, son of a mismatched marriage between a Roman gypsy on the lamb, and the overweight daughter of a taciturn English farmer with six irate, huge, and healthy sons. Rodney, the result of Zekira’s wandering bliss, is enticed from his innocent hog farm secreted in Yak, Canada, to be a businessman and drive a Rolls Royce for his victimized uncle; Rodney who’s an undertaker with two old Rolls Royce hearses. He becomes a British citizen in time to be conscripted into Hitler's war. Being extremely large and gormless with an accent that captured part of Romany, he fumbles his way through battle with his one aptitude at being a crack-shot poacher, which he learned from his ne’er-do-well Poppa. He inadvertently creates a misconception of possessing a brain. The aura of a hero is constantly leading those around to suspect that this massive Canuck with something of a Canadian accent as having some hidden depth even to the extent of having the top generals of the three services bargaining for his contribution to compete in their different services. The exposure of his true worth is irrevocable and comes at an unexpected moment.
