Diggers is a 1931 Australian comedy film produced and directed by F. W. Thring starring popular stage comedian Pat Hanna. It was the first feature film from both men.

Two Australian cobbers, Chic and Joe, attend a reunionyears after World War I and reminisce about their exploits together in France. They recall three incidents in particular. Firstly, the time they were in hospital and ingeniously feigned an illness to stay away from active service and the front line. Secondly, when the cobbers attempt to steal rum from the British Army store. And finally, they recall relaxing in a French cafe while a fellow Digger romances the waitress Eugenie Prescott.NB The George Moon above is George Moon Snr. Although well known in Australia during the 1920s for his dance partnership with Dan Morris as Moon and Morris, he is now often confused with his son, British actor George Moon Jnr father of actress Georgina Moon.
