Hmm.
"It Ain't Half Hot Mum" was co-written by David Croft, who also worked on Dad's Army; it deals with a Royal Artillery Concert Party (entertainment for the troops) in Burma. You might also consider 'Allo 'Allo, also co-written by Croft, which deals with the French resistance.
More recently there's Bluestone 42, about a bomb disposal unit in Afghanistan.
