Second-Lieutenant Ashley Windsor was a good-natured type but a bit naive and impulsive. Serving with an infantry regiment in India, he was the butt of many a joke amongst his fellow officers - especially when he hinted that he was a (very) distant relative to Queen Victoria.
This silly remark set off an extraordinary chain of events, including a small war against a scheming local tribal leader - who thought he would end up rich if he could capture a member of the British Royal Family!
