George Bernard Shaw wrote several one-act comedies about the first world war, and I would like to suggest that someone makes a dramatic reading of them.

They are:
The Inca Of Petsusalem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inca_of_Perusalem
O'Flaherty V.C. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Flaherty_V.C.
Augustus Does His Bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_Does_His_Bit

I am now BCing Augustus does his Bit as part of the current 1-act play collection.
Thanks for suggesting these, I may do the Inca one later.
