In the dark days of war, a group of soldiers far from home come
across an orphaned bear cub. They adopt him and hide him in their
tents, feeding him with their rations - until he is too big to
ignore! When they are told he cannot travel with them, they grant
him an officer's commission. Private Wojtek finds himself helping
to carry armaments at the fierce Battle of Monte Cassino. After the
war, unable to return to their homeland, the band of soldiers
arrive in Edinburgh, Scotland. Peter, Wojtek's substitute parent,
has no idea where his own family, forced out of their home, can be.
There is a happy ending, however, as Peter is reunited with his
family in Scotland - and Wojtek finds a new home in Edinburgh zoo.
A statue of Wojtek stands in Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh in
memory of the brave bear and his fellow soldiers.
