Maybe it was a series on PBS or a movie I saw on TV it was in color I saw it early 80’s about a boy who talked about a family member who fought in the war. He was usually wearing an english schoolboy uniform he was anywhere from 7 to 12 years old blonde hair, It was a story about his life I think they called him Duckworth or something with duck in it.
This is a real reach, but there was a character named Duckworth in “P’Tang, Yang, Kipperbang.” I don’t remember the plot, but I thought it was something to do with Duckworth having a crush on a girl at his school, and trying to get close to her. The Duckworth in this movie might be too old to be who you’re thinking of, as a 7 to 12 year old might not be interested in girls yet, but I don’t think it hurts to mention it.
