Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })George MacDonald Fraser's other famous series.It chronicles the adventures/misadventures of young Lieutenant Dand MacNeill (who is in no way Fraser himself) in a Highland Battalion in the wake of the Second World War. The series is named for the dirtiest soldier in the world, who is part of MacNeill's platoon and whose horrific exploits are the source of amusement and disgust to both the reader and his fellow soldiers.Fraser's memoir of WWII Burma, Quartered Safe Out Here, is a nonfiction prequel; the first McAuslan story literally takes up where the memoir leaves off, with Fraser/MacNeill's assignment to officer training at the end of the war.The series consists of three volumes, each named after a story within: The General Danced at Dawn, McAuslan in the Rough, and The Sheikh and the Dustbin. An omnibus edition exists called The Complete McAuslan.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

A Father to His Men | |
| McAuslan / int_19d06ef7 | comment |
A Father to His Men: Most officers, at least most of the time. Sometimes, it's recognized, it's just not the right approach. The old colonel is described as the kind who will probably show up early at the Pearly Gates on Judgement Day and bum cigarettes off St. Peter, just so he can put in a good word when one of his jocks shows up. MacNeill himself becomes this to his platoon—so much so that he still finds himself looking out for the eternally-benighted McAuslan, even after their demobilization. However he's unable to get the hang of it at first, and finds himself snapping and snarling at his men instead (earning the name "Darkie").Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Achievements in Ignorance | |
| McAuslan / int_57b74bd4 | comment |
Achievements in Ignorance: considering how badly McAuslan fails at...well, everything, his successes are all the more amazing. Such as handing the Sergeant-Major the wrong club while caddying, thereby enabling him to make an impossible shot, or putting out the target lamp in a night exercise entirely by accident. | |
