I think only Ian Lavender (Pike) is left from the actual platoon - obviously he was many years younger than the rest of the cast (although not the teenager that he played). The other surviving cast members include Bill Pertwee (Warden Hodges), Frank Sinclair (the Vicar), who was actually an ordained minister, and Pamela Cundell (Mrs Fox). Looking down the list of those who made fleeting appearances is interesting: Don Estelle, Fulton Mackay, Michael Knowles, Felix Bowness and Wendy Richard would go on to find fame in other sitcoms.
