00:01:56 #1 What's the matter with this, sir?

00:01:58 #2 Hold that on your b****, it'll make you wiser, more forbid.

00:02:00 #3 Keep working!

00:02:03 #4 Come on, the hours, get a move on!

00:02:05 #5 What the hell are we waiting for this time?

00:03:01 #6 I don't know.

00:03:03 #7 Got a match, Bill?

00:03:13 #8 Keep it under your hat.

00:03:15 #9 That's what it means to the boat.

00:03:17 #10 Look out till here he comes now.

00:03:20 #11 Put that light out.

00:03:22 #12 What light?

00:03:23 #13 You know what, light?

00:03:25 #14 You want to get us all blown to pieces?

00:03:31 #15 That could be you, that was a dud.

00:03:33 #16 Come on, get a move on here. It's getting too flowing out here.

00:03:43 #17 Oh, come on there.

00:03:45 #18 You can say goodbye to your last bottle of beer.

00:03:47 #19 Oh, come on.

00:03:48 #20 You know what it's like to hear him.

00:03:49 #21 Into the level.

00:03:50 #22 He's coming out.

00:03:52 #23 Come on, Gerald.

00:03:53 #24 Yeah, they come.

00:03:55 #25 Come on out, you boys.

00:04:07 #26 Hello, Bert.

00:04:08 #27 I didn't recognize you for a minute.

00:04:10 #28 What's it like this week?

00:04:12 #29 Oh, I didn't notice any difference.

00:04:14 #30 Are you going to spend your 10 days rest at market?

00:04:17 #31 Well, I'm always thinking about flying over to Australia.

00:04:21 #32 Send us a hostage for the message, will ya?

00:04:23 #33 Adiologa.

00:04:24 #34 Boiled or fried.

00:04:26 #35 One and two pursuers to the left, three and four to the right.

00:04:30 #36 Chill out, George.

00:04:32 #37 Chill out, Bert.

00:04:48 #38 Well, hello.

00:04:49 #39 Stay with me on the back.

00:04:56 #40 First, get us this way.

00:04:58 #41 Oh, there you are.

00:05:04 #42 You cover from that ruin on the left to that German hanging

00:05:07 #43 on the barbed wire on the right.

00:05:09 #44 There's a sniper in that ruin.

00:05:11 #45 Look out for him.

00:05:13 #46 He usually starts to work about five.

00:05:16 #47 Right off.

00:05:17 #48 I'll take your hand back.

00:05:18 #49 One and two ain't with Lord and Lou.

00:05:20 #50 Three and four, two girls more.

00:05:23 #51 Five and six with some more I mix.

00:05:25 #52 Seven, eight, Clare and Caroline.

00:05:28 #53 Nine and ten I'm at work again.

00:05:31 #54 Da, da, da, da, da, da.

00:05:34 #55 But the girl I meet at twelve, oh my God.

00:05:38 #56 What a life.

00:05:39 #57 Not a word to the wife.

00:05:42 #58 Dick, Chalk, who wind up the clock and I start my day over again.

00:05:47 #59 Pum-pum!

00:05:48 #60 Hello, honey.

00:05:50 #61 Hello, husband. Your fellow's arriving?

00:05:52 #62 Yes, they're just coming in.

00:05:54 #63 Linda, have a drink.

00:05:56 #64 Thanks.

00:05:57 #65 Don't have too much water. It's rather strong today.

00:06:06 #66 I wonder what it is they put in the water.

00:06:11 #67 Some sort of disinfectant, I suppose.

00:06:14 #68 I'd rather have the microbes, wouldn't you?

00:06:17 #69 I would yes

00:06:19 #70 Yeah, sure. Oh excuse my sock. Won't you?

00:06:26 #71 certain

00:06:30 #72 It's a nice looking sock

00:06:32 #73 It is rather isn't it

00:06:34 #74 Guaranteed to keep the feet dry the trouble is it gets away doing it

00:06:40 #75 Stanneth our speed come and take over. He's looking after the men coming in

00:06:46 #76 I'm awfully glad you've come why I heard this was a quiet bit of lineup here

00:06:51 #77 Oh, quite. They simply blew us to bits yesterday.

00:06:55 #78 Too much damage?

00:06:57 #79 Awful. The duck out cut blown up and came down at the man's tea. They were frightfully annoyed.

00:07:03 #80 I know. There's nothing worse than dirt in your tea.

00:07:10 #81 By the way, what's happened to the big German attack?

00:07:15 #82 Yes. I've forgotten about that.

00:07:18 #83 Are you here for six days?

00:07:19 #84 six days. And I should think you'd get it right in the neck.

00:07:24 #85 Well, you won't be far away. Come on, let's do this handing over.

00:07:30 #86 There you are. 500 mills bombs, 34 gumbus.

00:07:39 #87 That's 17 pairs. Oh, no. 25 right leg and nine left.

00:07:44 #88 But everything's down there. It's quite all right.

00:07:46 #89 I expect Stanner would like to see you before you go.

00:07:49 #90 How is the dear young boy? Drinking like a fish as usual?

00:07:52 #91 He's by far the best company commander we've got.

00:07:55 #92 Oh, he's a good chef, I know.

00:07:57 #93 I never did see a youngster put away the whiskey he does.

00:08:00 #94 Do you know the last time I'd resting at the Linn, he came to supper with us

00:08:03 #95 and drank a whole bottle in one hour, 14 minutes. We timed it.

00:08:06 #96 Do you know how long he's been out here?

00:08:09 #97 A good time, I know.

00:08:13 #98 Nearly three years.

00:08:15 #99 He came out here straight from school.

00:08:18 #100 Oh, I know he's a jolly good fellow because he's stuck it.

00:08:22 #101 To his nerves are all battered to bits.

00:08:23 #102 He's called a drunkard.

00:08:28 #103 You don't know him as I do.

00:08:30 #104 I love that fellow.

00:08:31 #105 I go to hell with him.

00:08:33 #106 Oh, you sweet sentimental old darling.

00:08:36 #107 Come on, let's finish this handing over and stop delivering.

00:08:39 #108 There's nothing else to do.

00:08:41 #109 What about the logbook?

00:08:43 #110 Oh, God, you are a worker.

00:08:50 #111 Here we are.

00:08:52 #112 Written right up to date.

00:08:54 #113 Here's my last entry.

00:08:56 #114 5 PM to 8 PM, all quiet.

00:08:58 #115 German airmen flew over trenches, shot a red. Did he?

00:09:03 #116 No, I shot the red, you ass.

00:09:05 #117 Come on, finish up your whiskey, I want to take my mug.

00:09:09 #118 I'll leave you that drop in the bottle.

00:09:11 #119 Put that in your water if you're thirsty.

00:09:13 #120 Thanks.

00:09:25 #121 I'll be off.

00:09:30 #122 I hope you have a nice six days.

00:09:34 #123 Don't forget to change your drawers if you get with.

00:09:37 #124 No, but...

00:09:39 #125 And don't forget about that bigger tank.

00:09:41 #126 Oh Lord, no, I mustn't miss that.

00:09:43 #127 I'll make another bit in my...

00:09:45 #128 There we are.

00:09:48 #129 Don't I look every inch of soldier?

00:09:50 #130 I should get quite a fright if I were a German

00:09:53 #131 and met you coming round a corner.

00:09:55 #132 I should hope you would.

00:09:57 #133 I shouldn't be able to run away for laughing.

00:09:59 #134 Don't be rude.

00:10:08 #135 Well, I'm dead. Still dead. What is?

00:10:11 #136 Why, that cockroach

00:10:13 #137 has been running round and round that candle ever since tea time.

00:10:15 #138 Must have done a mile.

00:10:17 #139 Did you ever have cockroach races? No.

00:10:19 #140 Oh, great.

00:10:21 #141 We've had them every evening.

00:10:22 #142 What are the rules?

00:10:24 #143 Well, you each have a cockroach and you start them.

00:10:26 #144 In line, here.

00:10:28 #145 Here.

00:10:29 #146 They're on the word go.

00:10:30 #147 You dig your cockroach in the ribs

00:10:32 #148 and you stare in with a match across the table.

00:10:34 #149 I want 10 francs last night.

00:10:36 #150 I had a splendid cockroach.

00:10:37 #151 A little black chap.

00:10:38 #152 You'll find him dashing about yours, I'm well. I'll give you a tip. Yes.

00:10:42 #153 Swear you won't tell us so? Yes.

00:10:44 #154 Well, if you want to get the best pace out of your cockroach, dip it in whiskey.

00:10:46 #155 Make some go like hell. All right. Thanks awfully. Well, I must be off.

00:10:50 #156 Cheeros, heroes, bad ones, you wine with more than you.

00:10:58 #157 Excuse me, sir. Can I lay supper?

00:11:01 #158 Here's dope.

00:11:02 #159 Thank you, sir.

00:11:03 #160 Well, what are you going to tempt us with tonight, Mason?

00:11:20 #161 Soups, cutlets and pineapple. Cutlets?

00:11:23 #162 Yes, sir. Cutlets.

00:11:25 #163 What sort of cutlets?

00:11:27 #164 Well, sir, I don't like to commit myself too deep.

00:11:30 #165 Ordinary ration meat.

00:11:32 #166 Yes, sir. Ordinary ration meat.

00:11:34 #167 But a new shape.

00:11:35 #168 Smells like liver.

00:11:36 #169 But it hasn't got that smooth, wet look what livers got, sir.

00:11:40 #170 This is the coffee headquarter, sir.

00:11:56 #171 Oh, thanks.

00:11:57 #172 Try to go down, sir.

00:11:58 #173 Yes, right, Harold.

00:12:07 #174 Hello.

00:12:08 #175 Good evening, sir.

00:12:11 #176 You're the new officer?

00:12:12 #177 Yes.

00:12:13 #178 Good.

00:12:14 #179 We've been expecting you.

00:12:16 #180 Sit down, won't you?

00:12:17 #181 Thanks.

00:12:27 #182 I should take your pack off.

00:12:29 #183 Oh, right.

00:12:34 #184 Have a drink?

00:12:36 #185 Oh, well.

00:12:37 #186 You done drink whiskey?

00:12:38 #187 Oh, yes.

00:12:39 #188 Just a small one, sir.

00:12:42 #189 Whiskey takes away the taste of the water.

00:12:44 #190 Oh yes.

00:12:45 #191 And the water takes away the taste of the whiskey.

00:12:56 #192 Just after England?

00:12:57 #193 Yes, I landed a week ago.

00:12:59 #194 The line?

00:13:00 #195 Yes.

00:13:03 #196 Well, here's luck, sir.

00:13:05 #197 Good luck.

00:13:09 #198 Cigarette?

00:13:10 #199 Thanks.

00:13:11 #200 Ever been up in the vine before?

00:13:23 #201 Oh no.

00:13:24 #202 You see, I only got out of school at the end of last summer term.

00:13:27 #203 It's fate you find it a bit strange.

00:13:30 #204 Yes, I do a bit.

00:13:32 #205 My name's Osborne.

00:13:34 #206 I'm second in command of the company.

00:13:36 #207 You only call me sir in front of the men.

00:13:38 #208 I see, thanks.

00:13:39 #209 You'll find the other officers call me uncle.

00:13:42 #210 Oh, yes.

00:13:43 #211 What's your name?

00:13:44 #212 Rally.

00:13:46 #213 Captain Stenner commands the company.

00:13:49 #214 I know.

00:13:50 #215 It's a frightful bit of luck.

00:13:52 #216 Why?

00:13:53 #217 Do you know him?

00:13:54 #218 Rather.

00:13:55 #219 We were at school together.

00:13:57 #220 At least, of course.

00:13:58 #221 I was only a kid.

00:13:59 #222 He was one of the big fellows.

00:14:01 #223 He's three years older than I am.

00:14:03 #224 So you're at school with Stanis?

00:14:06 #225 I wonder if he'll remember you.

00:14:08 #226 I expect you've grown in the last three years.

00:14:10 #227 Oh, I think he'll remember me.

00:14:13 #228 He's a fine company commander, isn't he?

00:14:17 #229 I expect Dennis to be quite a surprise to see me.

00:14:20 #230 I've got a message for him.

00:14:21 #231 From the general?

00:14:22 #232 No, from my sister.

00:14:25 #233 Your sister?

00:14:26 #234 Yes, you see Dennis used to stay with us

00:14:28 #235 and naturally my sister.

00:14:30 #236 Well, perhaps I ought not.

00:14:32 #237 Oh, that's all right.

00:14:34 #238 I didn't actually know that Stanip was...

00:14:35 #239 Oh, they're not officially engaged.

00:14:37 #240 No.

00:14:38 #241 She'll be awfully glad I'm here with him.

00:14:40 #242 I can write and tell her all about him.

00:14:43 #243 He doesn't say much in his letters.

00:14:45 #244 Can he write often?

00:14:46 #245 Oh, yes.

00:14:48 #246 Letters are collected every day.

00:14:49 #247 Good.

00:14:54 #248 You say it's a long time since you last saw him.

00:14:57 #249 Well, nearly a year ago.

00:14:59 #250 You know, Rally,

00:15:01 #251 you mustn't expect to find him quite the same.

00:15:04 #252 Oh, you may find he's a bit quick tempered.

00:15:09 #253 Oh, I know old Dennis' temper.

00:15:10 #254 You must remember he's commanded this company for a long time.

00:15:15 #255 It's a big strain on a man.

00:15:17 #256 Oh, it must be.

00:15:18 #257 So if you notice a difference in stand-up,

00:15:20 #258 you'll know it's only the strain.

00:15:22 #259 I see.

00:15:25 #260 Now let's see.

00:15:35 #261 I expect you'll sleep in the other dugout there.

00:15:36 #262 Oh, right, oh.

00:15:40 #263 We never undress in the night.

00:15:42 #264 You can take your boots off now and then in the daytime.

00:15:45 #265 But it's better to keep pretty well dressed always.

00:15:47 #266 I see, thanks.

00:15:51 #267 I expect we shall each do about three hours' duty at a time.

00:15:54 #268 And then six off.

00:15:55 #269 I see.

00:16:06 #270 Are we in the front line here?

00:16:08 #271 No.

00:16:09 #272 That's the support line out there.

00:16:11 #273 The front line's about 50 yards further on to the left.

00:16:19 #274 How frightfully quiet it is.

00:16:21 #275 Yes.

00:16:22 #276 It's often quiet like this.

00:16:25 #277 I thought there'd be an awful row here all the time.

00:16:28 #278 Most people think that.

00:16:39 #279 I expected all seems very strange to you.

00:16:43 #280 Well, it's not exactly what I thought.

00:16:45 #281 It's just this quiet that seems so funny.

00:16:48 #282 About a hundred yards from here, the Germans are sitting in their dugouts,

00:16:51 #283 thinking how quiet it is.

00:16:54 #284 Are they as near as that?

00:16:55 #285 About a hundred yards.

00:17:07 #286 It seems uncanny.

00:17:09 #287 Makes me feel we're all just waiting for something.

00:17:12 #288 You thought it was fighting all the time?

00:17:14 #289 Oh, yes, in a way.

00:17:23 #290 Can you tell me where number two for two is, sir?

00:17:25 #291 Yes, in the big dugout.

00:17:26 #292 Thank you, sir.

00:17:34 #293 You come up by trench tonight or over the top?

00:17:37 #294 By trench.

00:17:38 #295 An amazing trench.

00:17:39 #296 Turning and twisting for miles over a sort of plane.

00:17:42 #297 There's something rather romantic about it all.

00:17:45 #298 Yes, I thought that too.

00:17:47 #299 Always think of it that way if you can.

00:17:49 #300 Think of it all as romantic.

00:17:51 #301 It helps.

00:17:52 #302 Your minds are on moving business.

00:17:53 #303 For that, sounds like a big attack.

00:17:55 #304 Come on, rally.

00:17:57 #305 What's the matter, Major?

00:17:59 #306 The oil smashes, Haiti.

00:18:01 #307 What's the matter, Major?

00:18:02 #308 Marra, let me get out of my strangling so help me.

00:18:06 #309 Why, what happened?

00:18:07 #310 Happened?

00:18:08 #311 You know that dinner pineapple chunks I got, sir?

00:18:10 #312 Yes.

00:18:11 #313 Well, I'm sorry to say the apricots.

00:18:14 #314 Good heavens.

00:18:15 #315 Must have given you a turn.

00:18:17 #316 I distinctly said pineapple chunks at the canteen, sir.

00:18:20 #317 Wasn't there a label on the tin?

00:18:22 #318 No, sir.

00:18:23 #319 I pointed that out to the man.

00:18:25 #320 I said, was he certain it was pineapple chunks?

00:18:28 #321 And I suppose he said he was.

00:18:30 #322 Yes, sir.

00:18:31 #323 He said a leopard can't change his spots.

00:18:35 #324 What have leopards got to do with pineapple?

00:18:38 #325 That's just what I thought, sir.

00:18:40 #326 Made me think there was something fishy about it.

00:18:42 #327 You see, sir, I know the captain can't stand the sight of apricots.

00:18:46 #328 He said to me the next time we add him, he'd bring my blooming neck, sir.

00:18:50 #329 Well, haven't you anything else?

00:18:53 #330 Well, there's this pink lemon jar made, sir.

00:18:57 #331 But it ain't anywhere near stiff yet.

00:18:59 #332 Never mind me, we must have the apricots and chances only I thought I could use sir

00:19:04 #333 So as the captain won't blame me. That's all right me. Very good. This is mr.. Raleigh Mason

00:19:10 #334 Good evening sir. Good evening. You understand how it is. So don't you?

00:19:13 #335 Oh, I just did this a point up a chunk of the canteen and he tell you me no

00:19:17 #336 Mason all right very good

00:19:20 #337 That sounds like stand up now

00:19:22 #338 That's hardy gone. Yes, get out a few minutes ago. Lucky for him. He did I

00:19:41 #339 Had a few words to say to master. Hardy

00:19:43 #340 You never saw such a mess as fellas that the trenches in.

00:19:46 #341 Dugout smell like sysbeats.

00:19:48 #342 Gamp, bombs, rusty rifle grenades.

00:19:51 #343 It's perfectly far.

00:19:53 #344 Where are the servants?

00:19:55 #345 In there.

00:19:57 #346 Mason!

00:19:58 #347 Coming, sir.

00:19:59 #348 Just bring me the soup, sir.

00:20:00 #349 Oh, damn the soup.

00:20:02 #350 Bring some whiskey.

00:20:03 #351 Here's a new officer.

00:20:04 #352 Stand up.

00:20:05 #353 Just arrived.

00:20:06 #354 Oh, sorry.

00:20:07 #355 Couldn't see you in this miserable life.

00:20:09 #356 Hello, it's Tannop.

00:20:10 #357 How did you get here?

00:20:14 #358 Well, I was told to report your company, Stanup.

00:20:18 #359 I see. Rather a coincidence, isn't it?

00:20:22 #360 Yes. I'm awfully glad to be in your company, Stanup.

00:20:25 #361 Well, come and sit here beside me, Uncle. You better sit there, Eddie.

00:20:33 #362 Right, oh.

00:20:34 #363 You rally?

00:20:36 #364 Yes.

00:20:37 #365 Oh, Trotter.

00:20:38 #366 Oh, yes?

00:20:39 #367 How are you?

00:20:40 #368 All right, thanks.

00:20:41 #369 Been out of here before?

00:20:42 #370 No.

00:20:43 #371 Feel a bit odd, I suppose.

00:20:44 #372 A bit?

00:20:45 #373 Oh, well...

00:20:46 #374 Oh, well, you soon get used to it.

00:20:50 #375 You know, you feel you feel out of your year

00:20:52 #376 in about an hour's time.

00:20:54 #377 Ha!

00:20:55 #378 Ah!

00:20:56 #379 What sort of soup is this, Mason?

00:21:01 #380 It's yellow soup, sir.

00:21:03 #381 It has a very deep yellow flavor.

00:21:05 #382 It needs some pepper.

00:21:06 #383 Bring some pepper, Mason.

00:21:08 #384 I'm very sorry, sir, when the mess box was packed,

00:21:10 #385 the pepper was still missing.

00:21:11 #386 Oh, I say, but dammit!

00:21:13 #387 Well, we must have pepper.

00:21:15 #388 It's a disinfectant.

00:21:16 #389 You must have pepper in soup.

00:21:18 #390 Why wasn't it packed, Mason?

00:21:20 #391 Well, sir, I left it to Herbert.

00:21:23 #392 Then I advise you never to leave it to anyone else again,

00:21:26 #393 unless you want to rejoin your platoon in the line.

00:21:29 #394 Go and fit some.

00:21:30 #395 Right, sir.

00:21:31 #396 I send Herbert a pinch of all Sergeant Cox.

00:21:34 #397 Unbeknown.

00:21:37 #398 I mean, after all, war is bad enough with pepper.

00:21:40 #399 But with that pepper, it's blooming awful.

00:21:44 #400 What's it like, I said?

00:21:46 #401 Quiet as an empty house.

00:21:48 #402 I wish we knew more of what's going on. So do I.

00:21:51 #403 Still, me wife reads the papers every morning and writes and tells me the news.

00:21:59 #404 What's this?

00:22:01 #405 It's meat, sir.

00:22:02 #406 I know that. What sort?

00:22:03 #407 Sort of cutlets, sir.

00:22:05 #408 Sort of cutlet, is it?

00:22:07 #409 You know, Mason, there's cutlets and cutlets.

00:22:11 #410 I know, sir, but that one's a cutlet.

00:22:13 #411 Well, it won't let me cut it.

00:22:16 #412 No, sir. That's a joke.

00:22:18 #413 Oh, right.

00:22:23 #414 You better go out and have a look at that ruin tonight.

00:22:33 #415 Trotter goes on duty as soon as he's finished supper.

00:22:36 #416 You better go with him to learn.

00:22:38 #417 Right.

00:22:39 #418 Looky, Skipper.

00:22:40 #419 It's nearly eight now.

00:22:42 #420 Couldn't we make it off fast?

00:22:44 #421 No.

00:22:46 #422 Well, boys, here we are regaining for six dives.

00:22:49 #423 Six blooming eternal dives.

00:22:52 #424 That's, uh, 144 hours.

00:22:54 #425 That's 8,618 minutes.

00:22:58 #426 That doesn't sound so bad.

00:22:59 #427 We've done 20 of them already.

00:23:02 #428 Well, it's five to eight now.

00:23:03 #429 You'd better go and relieve Hibbert.

00:23:05 #430 I haven't had me apricots yet.

00:23:07 #431 We'll keep your apricots till you come back.

00:23:11 #432 I never saw anything like a wall for upsetting meals.

00:23:14 #433 That's because you never stop eating.

00:23:17 #434 Well, anyhow, let's have some coffee.

00:23:18 #435 I'm Mason.

00:23:19 #436 Coffee!

00:23:20 #437 Coming, sir.

00:23:21 #438 Well, I'll get dressed.

00:23:22 #439 Ah!

00:23:23 #440 Strong, right?

00:23:25 #441 Right.

00:23:30 #442 Just wake up out with your revolver case on it.

00:23:33 #443 Must have your evolved at the shoe rack.

00:23:35 #444 And your tin-at.

00:23:40 #445 Oh, you don't need your walking stick.

00:23:42 #446 It gets in your way if you have to run fast.

00:23:45 #447 Do you have to run fast?

00:23:46 #448 Oh, Lord, yes, often.

00:23:47 #449 When you see a mini coming.

00:23:49 #450 That's a big drenched mortar shell.

00:23:50 #451 Short for mini-wurfer.

00:23:52 #452 When they come over, you've got to dodge and run like hell

00:23:54 #453 sometimes.

00:23:55 #454 Coffee, sir?

00:23:56 #455 Oh, thanks.

00:24:01 #456 Thanks.

00:24:03 #457 Hey, Mason.

00:24:04 #458 I might leave my apricots out.

00:24:06 #459 Put them on a separate plate and put them in there.

00:24:08 #460 Very good, sir.

00:24:09 #461 If you leave them in here, you never know what might happen to them.

00:24:12 #462 No, sir.

00:24:17 #463 Be company on their right, aren't they, Skipper?

00:24:19 #464 Yes.

00:24:20 #465 There's 50 yards of un-defended area between.

00:24:23 #466 You'd better put the toe. We had a good deal.

00:24:25 #467 Right, Al.

00:24:26 #468 And have a look at that Lewis gun position on the left.

00:24:28 #469 Right.

00:24:29 #470 You don't want me to go out and look at that blinking ruin, do you?

00:24:32 #471 No. I'll see to that. Good.

00:24:35 #472 I don't fancy crawling about on my belly after that cutlet.

00:24:41 #473 Well, come on me, lad. Let's go and see about this ear wall.

00:24:51 #474 Here we go, Rally.

00:24:53 #475 Try and keep your face out of the mud.

00:24:55 #476 You've got to watch owls. Owls everywhere, but you'll get used to them.

00:25:03 #477 A low, a low. Who's this?

00:25:08 #478 He's amazing.

00:25:10 #479 Hello, George. I didn't recognize you for a minute.

00:25:13 #480 No, sir.

00:25:14 #481 How's the view, George?

00:25:16 #482 I can't see anything, sir.

00:25:18 #483 How much are you charging for a look at the eclipse?

00:25:20 #484 Well anyhow, let's have a look.

00:25:22 #485 Dear boy, he's a peri-skull. Come and get your pennies worth.

00:25:28 #486 Well, how does it look to you, Rally?

00:25:39 #487 Doesn't look a bit strange.

00:25:41 #488 That's just what I say.

00:25:43 #489 Need a bit of gardening. That's what.

00:25:45 #490 Well, come along, will you lad. I'll show you the sights.

00:25:48 #491 Will you take apricots, sir?

00:26:02 #492 No thanks, Mason.

00:26:04 #493 I'm very sorry about them fine apples being apricots.

00:26:07 #494 I explained to Mr. Osborne.

00:26:09 #495 That's all right, Mason. Thanks, all right.

00:26:11 #496 right very good I don't you turn in and get some sleep sleep I can't sleep well

00:26:25 #497 a habit everything's fairly quiet it's a bit of sniping on the left and rifle

00:26:31 #498 grenades on the right I see Mason's got your supper for it alright I don't think

00:26:37 #499 I can manage any supper tonight's done up this beastly near Roger seems to be right

00:26:42 #500 inside this eye. Beastly pain gets worse every day. Some hot soup and a good tough

00:26:47 #501 chop with that right? I'm afraid the pain rather takes my appetite away. Try and

00:26:52 #502 forget about it. Well I wish I could. I'll get tight. Now I think I'll turn in for

00:27:01 #503 some rest. All right turn in. You go on duty at two I'll leave you at four. I'll

00:27:07 #504 I'll tell Mason to call you. All right.

00:27:10 #505 Thanks, Denon.

00:27:12 #506 Chirra.

00:27:20 #507 Can I have a candle?

00:27:26 #508 There you are.

00:27:33 #509 Thanks.

00:27:39 #510 Another little worm trying to riddle home.

00:27:42 #511 Oh, he's tried hard.

00:27:44 #512 How long has he been out here?

00:27:46 #513 Three months, I suppose.

00:27:49 #514 Now he's decided he's done his bit.

00:27:52 #515 Well, he's mistaken.

00:27:55 #516 I let Warren get away like that.

00:27:58 #517 No more.

00:28:00 #518 I don't see how you can prevent a fellow going sick.

00:28:03 #519 I'd have a word with the doctor before he does.

00:28:06 #520 Thinks he's going to wriggle home before the attack.

00:28:10 #521 We'll just see about that.

00:28:14 #522 Radde seems a nice chap.

00:28:18 #523 Yes, school with you, wasn't he?

00:28:23 #524 Has he been talking already?

00:28:25 #525 He just mentioned it.

00:28:27 #526 He seems to think a lot of you.

00:28:31 #527 I'm his hero.

00:28:32 #528 natural I wonder how many battalions are there in France uncle why we'll say 50

00:28:43 #529 divisions that's one thousand eight hundred companies

00:28:49 #530 Rally might have been sent to any one of those God he comes to mine I haven't

00:29:10 #531 shown you that have I know rally sister isn't it how do you know strong

00:29:17 #532 like this she's an awfully nice looking girl I don't know but it doesn't show much

00:29:25 #533 really you know just a face I don't know why keep it really right isn't she I thought

00:29:37 #534 well what do you think I thought perhaps she was waiting for you yes she's

00:29:43 #535 waiting for me and she doesn't know she thinks I'm a fine fellow commanding a

00:29:48 #536 company she doesn't know if I went up those steps into the front line without

00:29:53 #537 being dope with whiskey I'd go mad with fright.

00:29:56 #538 Now look here O'Chep, it's time you went home for a rest.

00:30:05 #539 It's due to you.

00:30:07 #540 You suggest I go sick?

00:30:09 #541 You rails are in the eye, eh?

00:30:14 #542 I didn't even go home on my last leave.

00:30:17 #543 In case she'd find out.

00:30:20 #544 But now her brother has to turn up.

00:30:22 #545 It's not as bad as that.

00:30:24 #546 But I've just told you, that boy's a hero worshipper.

00:30:29 #547 Damn it, Uncle. You're a schoolmaster, you know?

00:30:32 #548 Yes.

00:30:34 #549 Rally's father knew mine.

00:30:36 #550 His people asked me to stay with him one summer.

00:30:39 #551 I met his sister then.

00:30:43 #552 Yes.

00:30:45 #553 First I thought of her just as another kid, like Rally.

00:30:48 #554 It wasn't until just before I came out here for the first time

00:30:51 #555 that I realized what a topping girl she really is.

00:30:55 #556 Funny how you realize things suddenly, isn't it, Uncle?

00:30:58 #557 You know, I just prayed to come through this war and to do things that would keep absolutely fit for her.

00:31:08 #558 Well, you've done pretty well. The name's C, the company.

00:31:12 #559 Oh, it was all right at first. It was when I came back here. After that awful affair in Bimy Ridge,

00:31:20 #560 realized I'd gone mad if I didn't break the strain. Couldn't bear to be fully conscious all the time.

00:31:27 #561 You've felt like that uncle, haven't you?

00:31:29 #562 Yes, I have.

00:31:31 #563 Well, there are only two ways of breaking the strain.

00:31:34 #564 One is to go home and pretend you were ill.

00:31:37 #565 The other is this.

00:31:41 #566 Which would you pick, uncle?

00:31:43 #567 I don't know yet.

00:31:45 #568 It's a slimy thing to go home if you're not really ill, isn't it?

00:31:49 #569 I think so.

00:31:50 #570 Well, cheer up!

00:31:52 #571 As long as the men who go home are new relatives.

00:31:56 #572 When the war's over and the strain's gone,

00:31:59 #573 you'll be as fit as ever at your age.

00:32:01 #574 I hope that all along.

00:32:03 #575 Go away for months, live in the open, get fit,

00:32:09 #576 and then go back to her.

00:32:11 #577 And so you can.

00:32:13 #578 If Braley had gone to one of those other 1,800 companies...

00:32:16 #579 I don't see why he's...

00:32:17 #580 Call for the Lord's sake, Uncle. Don't be a damn fool.

00:32:20 #581 You know.

00:32:22 #582 You know he'll write home and tell her I wreak a...

00:32:25 #583 Whiskey all day. He's very young.

00:32:28 #584 He's got hundreds of strange things to learn.

00:32:31 #585 He'll realize that men are different out here.

00:32:34 #586 It's no good, Uncle.

00:32:36 #587 Didn't you see him at supper, sitting there, staring at me?

00:32:41 #588 And wondering?

00:32:43 #589 He's out of those trenches now. Still wondering.

00:32:50 #590 And beginning to understand.

00:32:53 #591 I believe Ray will go on liking you.

00:32:56 #592 Oh, you do, do you?

00:32:59 #593 You know, Uncle, I'm captain of this company.

00:33:05 #594 What does that little prick of a boy matter, eh?

00:33:10 #595 Little prick, that's what he is.

00:33:13 #596 He thinks he's going to write home and tell Merge all about me.

00:33:16 #597 Well, he won't.

00:33:18 #598 He thinks the Uncle, he won't write.

00:33:20 #599 Censorship.

00:33:22 #600 I censor his letters.

00:33:24 #601 Cross out all he says about me.

00:33:26 #602 You can't read his letters.

00:33:28 #603 Cross out all he says about me.

00:33:30 #604 men we all go west in the big attack and she goes on thinking I'm a fine fellow

00:33:38 #605 forever ever come on over here did I ask him to force his way into my company go

00:33:55 #606 away what are you trying to do I'm a lie down and go to sleep go to sleep

00:34:34 #611 Come on, Uncle.

00:34:36 #612 Clean trenches up with little dustpan and brew, eh?

00:34:39 #613 Make your little white apron with lace on it.

00:34:41 #614 That'll be fine. Come on.

00:34:43 #615 Come on, lie down.

00:34:45 #616 As you get called at two o'clock, you must be tired.

00:34:49 #617 Got it.

00:35:06 #622 You'll be all right in a minute.

00:35:08 #623 Come on.

00:35:09 #624 Down you go.

00:35:13 #625 How's that?

00:35:14 #626 Comfortable?

00:35:15 #627 Yes.

00:35:17 #628 Comfortable.

00:35:18 #629 Get her, Uncle.

00:35:19 #630 Tuck me up.

00:35:22 #631 There you are.

00:35:23 #632 Kiss me, Uncle.

00:35:25 #633 Kiss you, big...

00:35:26 #634 Bang!

00:35:27 #635 You go to sleep.

00:35:28 #636 All right.

00:35:30 #637 I go to sleep.

00:35:38 #638 Mason.

00:35:39 #639 Yes, sir?

00:35:43 #640 Will you call me at 10 minutes to 11?

00:35:44 #641 I'm going to turn in for a while.

00:35:46 #642 Very good, sir.

00:35:48 #643 The peppers come, sir.

00:35:49 #644 Good. I'm very sorry about the pepper, sir.

00:35:52 #645 That's all right, Mason. Thank you, sir.

00:35:55 #646 Good night. Good night.

00:36:30 #647 Filthy rats, you get him?

00:36:32 #648 Yes, but kicking does no good. It only makes them malicious.

00:36:36 #649 So many rats. What on earth do they live on?

00:36:40 #650 Whatever they can get.

00:36:42 #651 Oh.

00:36:43 #652 I wish I had saved that cutlet to give them.

00:36:46 #653 Might have done a few in.

00:36:48 #654 How long have we been up?

00:36:50 #655 About two hours, 56 minutes, and...

00:36:53 #656 Hello, my second hand's broken.

00:36:55 #657 We go down soon.

00:36:57 #658 Three minutes' time.

00:36:58 #659 Does seem long.

00:37:00 #660 I suppose it's because everything's so quiet. Sir? Ready?

00:37:09 #661 Hello, uncle.

00:37:10 #662 Have a nice nap.

00:37:11 #663 Very pleasant, thanks.

00:37:14 #664 What's new?

00:37:15 #665 Nothing.

00:37:16 #666 It's quiet.

00:37:20 #667 All right, Rally?

00:37:21 #668 Yes, thanks.

00:37:22 #669 All right.

00:37:23 #670 He's a blooming veteran, aren't you, Rally?

00:37:26 #671 So go down and take a nap.

00:37:28 #672 Go quietly.

00:37:28 #673 Stand up to sleep.

00:37:30 #674 Right, oh. If I can be of any use, sir, I'd be glad to stay up longer.

00:37:33 #675 No offense. You go get some sleep.

00:37:35 #676 Right, oh.

00:37:37 #677 Uh, peppers come.

00:37:39 #678 He does? Good.

00:37:49 #679 Hello, Stanhope. Uncle said you were asleep.

00:37:53 #680 Did he?

00:37:56 #681 Well, I'm not. Better go to bed early.

00:38:05 #682 Good night, Stanhope.

00:38:15 #683 Am I a bit of drunk, Truller?

00:38:31 #684 Oh, there you are.

00:38:33 #685 Hello? Cold?

00:38:40 #686 No? Just thinking?

00:38:45 #687 Lovely morning, isn't it?

00:38:48 #688 Beautiful. So far.

00:38:51 #689 Colonel's here.

00:38:53 #690 Oh, he's here.

00:38:53 #691 Yes, he's out in the sap.

00:38:55 #692 He wants to see you. Right.

00:38:58 #693 You better go and get your breakfast.

00:38:59 #694 How about the wire?

00:39:01 #695 I'll see to that.

00:39:02 #696 Come up as soon as you've finished. Right, Al.

00:39:26 #697 Oh, good morning, sir.

00:39:27 #698 Morning, sir.

00:39:28 #699 It's been quiet, hasn't it?

00:39:29 #700 Very, sir.

00:39:31 #701 The big attack's coming soon.

00:39:33 #702 Looks like it.

00:39:34 #703 B company got a German prisoner last night.

00:39:36 #704 Oh? Did they get anything out of him?

00:39:39 #705 He gave the date of the attack as the 21st.

00:39:42 #706 21st? That's the day after tomorrow.

00:39:46 #707 Yes.

00:39:47 #708 Hmm.

00:39:48 #709 Probably a dawn.

00:39:49 #710 Very probably.

00:39:51 #711 When it does come, you mustn't expect too much support from behind.

00:39:54 #712 Very good, sir.

00:39:56 #713 You'll just have to stay here as long as you can.

00:39:58 #714 Right, sir.

00:39:59 #715 You better see about getting that wire strengthened.

00:40:04 #716 Right, sir?

00:40:06 #717 You got plenty of ammunition?

00:40:08 #718 Yes, sir.

00:40:09 #719 Right.

00:40:10 #720 Cheers, oh.

00:40:11 #721 Cheers, oh, sir.

00:40:12 #722 What a lovely smell of bacon.

00:40:18 #723 Yes, sir, I reckon there's enough smell of bacon here to last for dinner.

00:40:21 #724 Well, there's nothing like a good fat bacon rusher when you're as empty as I am.

00:40:25 #725 I'm glad you like it.

00:40:26 #726 That's a well, I like a bit of lean, too.

00:40:28 #727 The walls are a bit of lean in the middle of yours,

00:40:30 #728 but it kind of shrunk up in the cooking, sir.

00:40:32 #729 Bad cooking, that's all. Any porridge?

00:40:35 #730 Yes, sir, there's porridge.

00:40:37 #731 Lumpy, I suppose.

00:40:38 #732 Yes, sir, quite nice and lumpy.

00:40:40 #733 We'll take the lumps out of mine.

00:40:42 #734 Just bring it to gravy. Very good, sir.

00:40:45 #735 Do you know? Mason's getting familiar.

00:40:54 #736 He's not a bad cook.

00:40:56 #737 And... I say, do you realize he's washed his dishcloth?

00:41:01 #738 I know. I told him about it.

00:41:03 #739 Did you really? You have got some pluck.

00:41:06 #740 I've tripped the lumps out sir. Good. Keep them and use them for dumplings next time we have boil beef. Very good sir.

00:41:14 #741 I thought you were on duty now. I'm supposed to be.

00:41:18 #742 Stan Oates sent me down to get me breakfast. He's looking after things till I finish. He's got a long job though. Oh, no. I'm a quick eater.

00:41:25 #743 Emotion, bacon.

00:41:28 #744 It's a wonderful morning. Lovely-eyed.

00:41:32 #745 Makes you feel sort of young and hopeful.

00:41:34 #746 Well, that looks all right.

00:41:40 #747 If you look down straight on it from above, sir,

00:41:42 #748 you can see the little lean quite clear.

00:41:45 #749 Good Lord, yes.

00:41:46 #750 That's it, isn't it?

00:41:48 #751 No, sir.

00:41:48 #752 That's a bit of rust off the pan.

00:41:51 #753 Oh, well, that's it.

00:41:53 #754 You've got it, sir.

00:41:55 #755 Throw it to the chunk of bread, Uncle.

00:42:05 #756 How are things going up there?

00:42:07 #757 I don't like to look at things a bit.

00:42:09 #758 You mean the quiet.

00:42:10 #759 Too damn quiet.

00:42:12 #760 You can bet your boost the bar is up to something.

00:42:14 #761 The big attack soon I reckon.

00:42:16 #762 I don't like it uncle.

00:42:18 #763 Pass the jam.

00:42:19 #764 It's strawberry.

00:42:21 #765 Oh is it?

00:42:22 #766 I'm glad you got rid of that raspberry jam.

00:42:24 #767 Can't stand raspberry jam.

00:42:26 #768 Peps get behind your plate.

00:42:29 #769 Stan have done anything about the wire.

00:42:31 #770 He's looking after it now.

00:42:34 #771 My goodness uncle.

00:42:36 #772 Doesn't he look ill?

00:42:37 #773 Yes.

00:42:38 #774 I'm afraid he's not well.

00:42:39 #775 Look at the sun. It'll be quite warm soon.

00:42:43 #776 Lovely, ain't it? Hope we have our summer.

00:42:46 #777 So do I.

00:42:47 #778 Funny about it being summer out here too.

00:42:53 #779 Makes me think of my garden of an evening.

00:42:56 #780 Walking around in me slippers off to suffer.

00:43:00 #781 Smoking me pipe.

00:43:01 #782 Are you keen on gardening?

00:43:03 #783 Had some fine olyocks.

00:43:04 #784 One year I had one eighth, we died.

00:43:06 #785 Did you really?

00:43:07 #786 Look a photo of it. Would you like to see it?

00:43:09 #787 I should.

00:43:11 #788 Here.

00:43:16 #789 Now, you see that there?

00:43:17 #790 Yes.

00:43:18 #791 That's the roof of the summer house.

00:43:20 #792 Is it really?

00:43:21 #793 Just shows the eye to the ollie office.

00:43:23 #794 So it does.

00:43:24 #795 Beauty, isn't it?

00:43:25 #796 Rather.

00:43:26 #797 They'll be coming out again soon if they have this sun at home.

00:43:28 #798 I reckon they will.

00:43:30 #799 I remember one morning last spring.

00:43:36 #800 We were coming out of the salient.

00:43:38 #801 It was about the time their boss was sending over that gas that smells like...

00:43:42 #802 like pere drops, you know.

00:43:44 #803 I know.

00:43:45 #804 That's it. We were all scared to well of it and all of a sudden we smelt that funny sweet smell and a fellow shot at gas

00:43:52 #805 And we all put on their masks and then I spotted what it was

00:43:55 #806 Oh, how was it why you're blinking my tree all that in full bloom and growing beside the past?

00:44:02 #807 Well, we felt like a lot of silly boobs putting on gas masks because of a damn my tree

00:44:10 #808 Oh Lord I must get my fat down

00:44:12 #809 Well, I'll go and release Stano. He'll curse like ill-afoid, though.

00:44:17 #810 I bet he's got a red-off liver this morning.

00:44:22 #811 Well, cheer up.

00:44:24 #812 Cheer up.

00:44:25 #813 Well, what do you think about it all?

00:44:47 #814 All right. I feel as if I'd been here ages.

00:44:50 #815 I expect you to.

00:44:52 #816 Time passes, though.

00:44:54 #817 Are we here for six days?

00:44:55 #818 Yes. Seems a long time, doesn't it?

00:44:58 #819 It does, rather.

00:44:59 #820 I can't imagine the end of six days.

00:45:01 #821 I can't imagine the end of six days here.

00:45:03 #822 How did you feel in the run life?

00:45:05 #823 Oh, quite all right. Everything so frightfully quiet.

00:45:08 #824 Everybody talking in low voices.

00:45:11 #825 I suppose you've got to talk quietly when you're so near the German front line.

00:45:14 #826 About 70 yards, isn't it?

00:45:16 #827 Yes. About the breadth of a rugger field.

00:45:19 #828 Oh, it's funny to think of it like that.

00:45:21 #829 I always measure distances like that out here.

00:45:23 #830 Keeps them in proportion.

00:45:24 #831 Did you play rugger?

00:45:25 #832 Yes.

00:45:26 #833 Mostly a rep. He had school in the last few years.

00:45:29 #834 You were schoolmaster then?

00:45:31 #835 Yes.

00:45:32 #836 I must apologize.

00:45:34 #837 Oh, I don't mind schoolmasters.

00:45:37 #838 I mean, I've never met one outside of school before.

00:45:40 #839 They do get out sometimes.

00:45:44 #840 Who did you play for?

00:45:45 #841 The Harlequins.

00:45:46 #842 I say, really?

00:45:48 #843 I played for the English team on one great occasion.

00:45:50 #844 What?

00:45:51 #845 England?

00:45:52 #846 I was awfully lucky to get the chance.

00:45:54 #847 Long time ago now.

00:45:56 #848 I say the Germans really are quite decent, aren't they?

00:46:04 #849 I remember a bit of wipers.

00:46:06 #850 One of our men on patrol got shot just about dawn.

00:46:10 #851 That night, three of our fellows crawled out to bring him in.

00:46:14 #852 So near the German trenches, they could have shot our fellows down one by one.

00:46:18 #853 When they started to drag the wounded man back over the broken ground,

00:46:21 #854 a big German officer stood up in their trenches and cried out,

00:46:24 #855 Carry him!

00:46:26 #856 Our men stood up and carried him back.

00:46:29 #857 The German officer fired some lights for him to see by.

00:46:32 #858 The next day we blew each other's trenches to blazes.

00:46:35 #859 It all seems rather silly, doesn't it?

00:46:39 #860 Yes, it does rather.

00:46:41 #861 I started the letter when I came off duty last night.

00:46:44 #862 How does one send letters?

00:46:46 #863 Court of Master Sergeant takes them down after he's brought a brassians in the evening.

00:46:49 #864 I think I'll go and finish it now.

00:46:51 #865 I hope.

00:46:52 #866 Hello, Stepp.

00:46:58 #867 What a foul smell of bing.

00:47:00 #868 We got baking for breakfast.

00:47:02 #869 So I get it.

00:47:03 #870 Would you like a nice bit of bacon, sir?

00:47:12 #871 No, thanks.

00:47:14 #872 Bring me a cup of tea.

00:47:16 #873 Very good, sir.

00:47:17 #874 Would you like a nice plate of sardine, sir?

00:47:24 #875 I should know that.

00:47:26 #876 Very good, sir.

00:47:30 #877 Sardines.

00:47:32 #878 Mason's got no imagination.

00:47:34 #879 I don't suppose he has.

00:47:36 #880 Funny not to have any imagination.

00:47:38 #881 Must be rather nice.

00:47:40 #882 Rather dull, I should think.

00:47:41 #883 I suppose all his life,

00:47:43 #884 Mason feels like you and I do

00:47:45 #885 when we're drowsily drunk.

00:47:46 #886 Poor chap.

00:47:47 #887 I suppose if Mason were to look at that wall,

00:47:52 #888 He'd just see a brown surface.

00:47:54 #889 He wouldn't see the earth beyond the worms wandering about

00:48:00 #890 among the stones and roots of trees.

00:48:03 #891 I wonder how a worm knows when it's going up or down.

00:48:08 #892 I expect when it's going down, the blood runs to its head and makes it throb.

00:48:12 #893 Worms haven't got any blood.

00:48:14 #894 I don't suppose it ever does, though.

00:48:16 #895 A rotten if it didn't, went on going down, thought it was coming out.

00:48:19 #896 I expect that's the one thing worms dread.

00:48:22 #897 I suppose if Mason were to look up at the sky at night, he'd just see the stars.

00:48:30 #898 He wouldn't see the space beyond the stars.

00:48:34 #899 That makes you sick and giddy and want to cling on to something.

00:48:38 #900 Do you think this life sharpens the imagination?

00:48:43 #901 Must do.

00:48:44 #902 I was looking across at the Bosch trenches and right beyond.

00:48:49 #903 Not a sound or a soul.

00:48:52 #904 Just an enormous plane all churned up like a sea that's got muddier and muddier

00:48:58 #905 till it's so stiff it can't move. You could have heard a pin drop in the quad.

00:49:04 #906 Yet you knew that thousands of guns were hidden there already oiled and clean.

00:49:08 #907 Millions of bullets lying in the pouches. Thousands of Germans all watching.

00:49:14 #908 Waiting. Thinking. Gradually that feeling came over me.

00:49:22 #909 Yes, I know.

00:49:24 #910 Whenever I look at anything nowadays,

00:49:27 #911 I seem to see right through it.

00:49:31 #912 Looking at you now, there's your uniform, jersey, shirt,

00:49:36 #913 vest, your chest, and beyond that.

00:49:39 #914 Yes, leave it at that.

00:49:41 #915 You don't think I'm going potty, do you?

00:49:43 #916 Good Lord, no. A bit of nerve strain, that's all.

00:49:46 #917 Well, that's all right then.

00:49:48 #918 Mason.

00:49:49 #919 Bring some mugs and a bottle of whiskey.

00:49:52 #920 So early in the morning?

00:49:54 #921 Just a spot.

00:49:55 #922 Stamped curl here.

00:50:08 #923 This shirt, the hippodrome, has been running a long time. Zigzagger.

00:50:13 #924 Harper, so it is lost leave.

00:50:15 #925 Says it's damned good.

00:50:17 #926 Wish I'd seen a show on leave.

00:50:20 #927 You mean to say you haven't been to any shows? No.

00:50:23 #928 I spend most of the time in the garden.

00:50:25 #929 In the evenings, I used to sit and read and smoke my pipe a bit.

00:50:28 #930 The wife used to play the piano.

00:50:30 #931 We forgot there was a war.

00:50:31 #932 Till my two youngsters made me play as soldiers with them on the floor.

00:50:34 #933 Pro-earl uncle, can't get away from me, can you?

00:50:38 #934 Even have one?

00:50:39 #935 Not now, these.

00:50:40 #936 Where's Rally?

00:50:49 #937 Finishing a letter.

00:50:50 #938 Did you tell him?

00:50:53 #939 Thought what?

00:50:54 #940 Censorship.

00:50:55 #941 Good Lord, you don't mean that seriously.

00:50:57 #942 Mean it? Of course I mean it.

00:50:59 #943 But you can't read his letters.

00:51:01 #944 I'm supposed to read all your letters.

00:51:03 #945 Tell me, Uncle, imagine yourself in my place.

00:51:06 #946 Imagine a letter going away from here from that boy.

00:51:08 #947 You'll say nothing rotten about you.

00:51:10 #948 Oh, you think so?

00:51:12 #949 You should have seen him last night when he came in with Trotter and looked at me.

00:51:17 #950 I was sitting here having a drink.

00:51:21 #951 He looked at me as if I hit him between the eyes as if I'd spat at him.

00:51:27 #952 You imagine things.

00:51:28 #953 Imagine things.

00:51:30 #954 There's no need to imagine.

00:51:31 #955 Why can't you treat him like any other youngster?

00:51:33 #956 Oh, sorry.

00:51:34 #957 It's all right, Rayleigh.

00:51:35 #958 You going to inspect rifles?

00:51:36 #959 Yes.

00:51:37 #960 You're even bothered if the woodwork's a bit dirty.

00:51:39 #961 Just the barrels, magazines, and all the metal parts.

00:51:41 #962 All right, oh.

00:51:42 #963 See, there's plenty of oil on them.

00:51:43 #964 Look at the ammunition in the men's pouches.

00:51:45 #965 Right. Where do we put letters to be collected?

00:51:49 #966 Just leave them on the table.

00:51:51 #967 All right.

00:51:52 #968 You leave it open.

00:51:53 #969 Open?

00:51:54 #970 Yes. I have to censor all letters.

00:51:57 #971 Oh, but I haven't said anything about where we are.

00:52:00 #972 It's the rule that all letters must be read.

00:52:02 #973 Oh, I... I didn't realize that.

00:52:06 #974 I'll just leave it there.

00:52:09 #975 Give me that letter.

00:52:10 #976 But, Dennis, give me that letter.

00:52:12 #977 But it's private. I didn't know that.

00:52:13 #978 You understand, Laura?

00:52:15 #979 Give me that letter.

00:52:16 #980 But I tell you, there's nothing. Get it, you!

00:52:18 #981 Get it, it's me!

00:52:19 #982 Stannops, my name.

00:52:20 #983 You're not at school now.

00:52:22 #984 Don't expect your rivals.

00:52:26 #985 Do you understand an order?

00:52:30 #986 All right.

00:52:38 #987 Good heavens, Stannops.

00:52:39 #988 Look, your husband, I'm commanding this company.

00:52:42 #989 Very well.

00:52:52 #990 I don't want to read the thing.

00:52:54 #991 You let it go then.

00:52:56 #992 I don't care.

00:52:58 #993 Shall I glance through it for you?

00:53:01 #994 If you like it, I don't want to.

00:53:04 #995 You'd better.

00:53:06 #996 I can't.

00:53:20 #997 Do you want to hear?

00:53:22 #998 I suppose I'd better know.

00:53:24 #999 He starts off with a description of his getting here.

00:53:27 #1000 Doesn't mention the names of any places.

00:53:29 #1001 What does he say then?

00:53:31 #1002 The next bit's about you.

00:53:35 #1003 Go on.

00:53:37 #1004 He says,

00:53:38 #1005 and now I come to the great news.

00:53:40 #1006 I was told to report to Sea Company, Captain Stannop,

00:53:43 #1007 and was taken along some trenches and shown the dugout.

00:53:46 #1008 There was an awfully nice officer there, quite old with gray hair.

00:53:50 #1009 Then a little later, Dennis came in.

00:53:54 #1010 He looked tired, but that's because he worked so frightfully hard.

00:53:58 #1011 Then I went on duty in the front lines.

00:54:01 #1012 The sergeant told me all about Dennis.

00:54:03 #1013 He said that Dennis is the finest officer in the battalion.

00:54:06 #1014 The men simply love him.

00:54:08 #1015 He makes them keen about things, like he did the kids at school.

00:54:13 #1016 I'm awfully proud to think he's my friend.

00:54:17 #1017 That's all I stick it down Corporal bird said you wanted to see me sir. I want to talk to me up. Yes, sir

00:54:55 #1018 Now look out

00:54:56 #1019 We must expect this attack on Thursday morning at dawn. That's the second dawn from now

00:55:02 #1020 Thursday morning

00:55:04 #1021 Very good, sir. We're to hold these trenches and no man's to move from here. I see sir

00:55:09 #1022 Now it may happen that the companies on our sides will give way leaving our flanks exposed

00:55:14 #1023 So I want to build a bar, put on both our flanks to meet the wire in the sport line.

00:55:20 #1024 Both flanks? Yes, sir.

00:55:23 #1025 When the attack begins, I'll take charge on the left.

00:55:27 #1026 Mr. Osborne on the right. You'll be with Mr. Osborne.

00:55:31 #1027 I see, sir.

00:55:32 #1028 Is there anything you're not clear about?

00:55:34 #1029 Seems all clear to me, sir.

00:55:38 #1030 Anything you want to know?

00:55:39 #1031 Well, sir, when the attack comes, of course we beat them up.

00:55:43 #1032 Of course we beat them off. But what if they keep on attacking?

00:55:46 #1033 We keep on beating them off.

00:55:48 #1034 But order me to fix something up about falling back, sir?

00:55:51 #1035 There's no need to. You'll see.

00:55:53 #1036 We should be able to fire into the Bosch as they try and get through the gaps in our sides.

00:55:58 #1037 We'll make the hell of a mess of them.

00:56:00 #1038 Yes, sir. But what happens when the Bosch is all got round the back of us?

00:56:04 #1039 Then we advance and win the war.

00:56:06 #1040 Win the war? I see, sir.

00:56:08 #1041 Hello. Hello.

00:56:09 #1042 Hello. Anything else, sir?

00:56:11 #1043 so thanks very good to have what is it here you are

00:56:15 #1044 almost down below I want to see you I'll go right down

00:56:27 #1045 I was up. Hello. Lovely day. Splendid.

00:56:33 #1046 I'm glad we're alone and I've got some rather serious news.

00:56:37 #1047 I'm sorry to hear that. Have a drink.

00:56:41 #1048 Well thanks just bought. His luck.

00:56:43 #1049 General, what is the news?

00:56:49 #1050 Brigitte was up to see me this morning.

00:56:51 #1051 It seems the Bosch began relieving his front-line troops yesterday.

00:56:55 #1052 And the general wants us to make a raid

00:56:58 #1053 to see who's come into the line opposite here.

00:57:00 #1054 I see. When?

00:57:05 #1055 As soon as possible. He said tonight.

00:57:07 #1056 That's absurd.

00:57:08 #1057 I told him so. I said the earliest would be tomorrow afternoon.

00:57:12 #1058 A surprise daylight raid under a smoke screen from the trench mortars.

00:57:17 #1059 I suggest sending two officers and ten men.

00:57:21 #1060 Tonight the trench mortars can blow a hole in the barge wire,

00:57:24 #1061 and you can cut a hole in yours.

00:57:26 #1062 Very good, sir.

00:57:27 #1063 I'll leave you to select the men, Sennep.

00:57:29 #1064 You want me to go with the men?

00:57:30 #1065 Oh, no, Sennep. No, I couldn't let you go.

00:57:32 #1066 Whom do you suggest?

00:57:34 #1067 I'd suggest Osborne for one. He's a very level-headed chap.

00:57:38 #1068 He can direct it.

00:57:39 #1069 And who else?

00:57:41 #1070 What about that youngster I sent up to you last night?

00:57:44 #1071 Ready, sir?

00:57:45 #1072 Is that yes just a type of gut but he's often you do it all that's all to the good

00:57:50 #1073 is nerves of sound very good sir right then I'll be up and see us when I'm

00:57:56 #1074 rather the first thing tomorrow morning right up it's all a damn nuisance but

00:58:01 #1075 after all it's necessary I suppose it is well you know that up to a little

00:58:20 #1076 sleep I wanted a word with you stand up far away well this new Roger of mine I'm

00:58:32 #1077 I'm awfully sorry I'm afraid I can't stick it any longer.

00:58:35 #1078 I know.

00:58:36 #1079 Rotten, isn't it?

00:58:39 #1080 I've got it like hell.

00:58:41 #1081 You have.

00:58:43 #1082 Headed for weeks.

00:58:45 #1083 Well, I'm sorry, Stenna, but I can't help it.

00:58:49 #1084 I've tried damned hard, but I must go down.

00:58:52 #1085 Go down?

00:58:54 #1086 Well, I go sick.

00:58:56 #1087 Go down the line.

00:58:58 #1088 I'm just going to hospital and have some kind of treatment.

00:59:02 #1089 I'll go right along now, I think.

00:59:04 #1090 You're going to stay here.

00:59:05 #1091 I'm going down to see the doctor.

00:59:07 #1092 He'll send me to hospital when he understands.

00:59:08 #1093 I've seen the doctor.

00:59:10 #1094 I saw him this morning.

00:59:12 #1095 He won't send you to hospital, Hibbert.

00:59:13 #1096 He'll send you back here.

00:59:15 #1097 So you can save yourself a walk.

00:59:16 #1098 What the hell, Dad?

00:59:17 #1099 I've a perfect right to go sick if I want to.

00:59:19 #1100 The men can't wipe out an officer.

00:59:21 #1101 There's nothing the matter with you, Hibbert.

00:59:24 #1102 The German attacks on Thursday almost were certain.

00:59:27 #1103 You're going to stay here and see through with the rest of us.

00:59:30 #1104 I can't.

00:59:31 #1105 The pain's nearly sending me mad. I'm going. I'm going now.

00:59:33 #1106 You can't stop me.

00:59:57 #1107 Let's get by, Stanip.

00:59:58 #1108 You're going to stay here and do your job.

00:59:59 #1109 Haven't I told you I can't?

01:00:01 #1110 Let me get by.

01:00:02 #1111 Now, don't care, Herbert.

01:00:03 #1112 Once and for all, you're going to stay here

01:00:05 #1113 and see it through with the rest of us.

01:00:07 #1114 I should die of this pain if I don't go.

01:00:08 #1115 Better die of the pain and be shot for deserting.

01:00:11 #1116 What do you mean?

01:00:12 #1117 You know what I mean.

01:00:15 #1118 I have a right to see a doctor.

01:00:16 #1119 Don't you understand?

01:00:17 #1120 He'd only send you back here.

01:00:19 #1121 Dr. Pristons never let a shirker pass him yet.

01:00:22 #1122 He's not going to start now, two days before he attacks.

01:00:25 #1123 You know how awful I feel.

01:00:27 #1124 Do please let me get by.

01:00:29 #1125 Let me... please.

01:00:31 #1126 You little swine. Let me go.

01:00:39 #1127 If you did, I'll have you shot for the serving.

01:00:41 #1128 I'd rather spail the disgrace.

01:00:44 #1129 Now I'll give you a half a minute to decide.

01:00:46 #1130 I view stay here and try and be a man.

01:00:49 #1131 Or you try and get through that door there to the certain.

01:00:52 #1132 If you do that, there's going to be an accident, you want to stand?

01:00:55 #1133 I'm fiddling with my revolver, cleaning it to see, and it's going off.

01:00:58 #1134 My accident.

01:00:59 #1135 It often happens out here.

01:01:01 #1136 It's going up and it's going to shoot you between the eyes.

01:01:04 #1137 You dance. I'll give you half a minute to decide.

01:01:07 #1138 Half a minute from now.

01:01:09 #1139 Go on then, shoot!

01:01:11 #1140 You will never go to hospital, and I swear I'll never go to those trenches again.

01:01:14 #1141 Shoot and thank God!

01:01:16 #1142 15 more seconds.

01:01:17 #1143 Go on, I'm ready.

01:01:21 #1144 Again.

01:01:23 #1145 Five.

01:01:36 #1146 No!

01:01:39 #1147 Good man, Hebert. I like the way you stuck there.

01:01:41 #1148 Why didn't you shoot?

01:01:43 #1149 Oh, stay here and feed through with the rest of us.

01:01:51 #1150 Stand up, I've tried like hell, I swear I have.

01:01:53 #1151 Ever since I came out here, I've hated and loathed it.

01:01:56 #1152 Every sound up there makes me feel all cold and sick.

01:01:59 #1153 I'm different from the others, you don't understand.

01:02:03 #1154 I just...

01:02:04 #1155 I'll never go up in those awful trenches again,

01:02:07 #1156 where the man looking at me and knowing I'd rather die here.

01:02:18 #1157 Here, try a drop of this.

01:02:25 #1158 No, thanks.

01:02:26 #1159 Go on, man, drink it.

01:02:27 #1160 I know how you feel, Hibbert.

01:02:37 #1161 I've known all along.

01:02:39 #1162 How can you know?

01:02:40 #1163 Because I feel the same.

01:02:42 #1164 Exactly the same.

01:02:44 #1165 Every little noise out there makes me feel,

01:02:46 #1166 me feel just as you feel why couldn't you tell me instead of talking about new

01:02:51 #1167 ralcha I can't bear to go in those awful trenches again when you do to go on again

01:02:55 #1168 quite soon at four well shall we go on together we both know how we feel now

01:03:03 #1169 shall we see we can stick it together I can't I'm spursing the worst happen

01:03:08 #1170 you got knocked right out well think of all the topping fellows who've gone

01:03:12 #1171 already can't be very lonely there with all those fellows sometimes I'd feel

01:03:28 #1172 Well, it's lonelier here.

01:03:36 #1173 Go on.

01:03:37 #1174 Go and have a good rest, and we go out together, eh?

01:03:40 #1175 Stand up, too. Please, let me go.

01:03:42 #1176 If you did, could you ever look a decent man again in the face in all your life?

01:03:47 #1177 You might get wounded.

01:03:49 #1178 Then you can go home and feel proud.

01:03:52 #1179 And if you're killed,

01:03:54 #1180 if you won't have to stand this hell anymore, go on.

01:03:59 #1181 Seed through, old man.

01:04:03 #1182 Pride's the only decent thing a man can do.

01:04:08 #1183 I'll try. Good man.

01:04:18 #1184 Look, Q, you won't say anything about this to the others, Stannop?

01:04:35 #1185 If you promise I'll tell anyone what a blasted rotter I am?

01:04:38 #1186 God, no. That's right.

01:04:40 #1187 Now, you go up and have a smoke and a rest for ten minutes,

01:04:42 #1188 and we go up together and hold each other's hands and jump every time we're at Squeaks.

01:04:46 #1189 Right.

01:04:47 #1190 I mean to pull through, don't you?

01:04:50 #1191 Yes, Robert. It's awfully decent of you, Stannop.

01:05:00 #1192 And thanks most awfully...

01:05:01 #1193 That's all right.

01:05:02 #1194 Would you like a nice cup of tea, sir?

01:05:23 #1195 Can you guarantee it's nice?

01:05:26 #1196 Well, sir, it's a little bit of oniony,

01:05:28 #1197 but that's only because of the sauce.

01:05:30 #1198 In other words, it's onion soup with tea leaves in it.

01:05:34 #1199 Not for dinner time, sir.

01:05:36 #1200 All right, Mason, bring two cups of onion tea.

01:05:39 #1201 One for Mr. Hibbert.

01:05:41 #1202 Very good, sir.

01:05:42 #1203 Would you like a nice cup of tea, sir?

01:05:46 #1204 Yes, please, Mason.

01:05:48 #1205 Maybe a bread and butter, strawberry jam.

01:05:50 #1206 Very good, sir.

01:05:52 #1207 Hello, Uncle. How are things up there?

01:05:57 #1208 Very little doing.

01:05:58 #1209 The Colonel's been talking to me.

01:06:02 #1210 About the attack?

01:06:03 #1211 Partly. We've got to make a raid, Uncle.

01:06:07 #1212 Oh? When?

01:06:10 #1213 Tomorrow afternoon, under a smoke screen.

01:06:12 #1214 Two officers, ten men.

01:06:15 #1215 I see. Who's going?

01:06:19 #1216 You and Raleigh.

01:06:22 #1217 Oh. Why Raleigh?

01:06:27 #1218 Why rally Colonel picked you to direct rally to dash in.

01:06:31 #1219 I see the bigger dear wants to know what's opposite here.

01:06:36 #1220 Tomorrow what time.

01:06:41 #1221 I suggest five o'clock a little before dusk I see.

01:06:46 #1222 I'm damn sorry all right oh man.

01:06:50 #1223 For you fix up the man who to go I don't see the sergeant major now

01:06:54 #1224 and get him to go around for names.

01:06:55 #1225 Be gone, Uncle.

01:07:03 #1226 Is tea ready?

01:07:17 #1227 Yes.

01:07:19 #1228 Oh, Lord, I do feel frizzy.

01:07:22 #1229 Had a fine sleep, though.

01:07:25 #1230 Brits just coming, sir.

01:07:26 #1231 Here's the strawberry jam.

01:07:28 #1232 Tell me, Mother, what is that that looks like strawberry jam?

01:07:32 #1233 A shush, my dear, it is only par run over by a tram.

01:07:37 #1234 Hmm.

01:07:47 #1235 Doesn't this tea taste of onions?

01:07:53 #1236 Yes, it does a bit.

01:07:55 #1237 Betty Mason doesn't wash his pots better.

01:07:57 #1238 Mason, this tea tastes of onions.

01:08:01 #1239 I'm very sorry, sir.

01:08:02 #1240 Onions do have such a way of cropping up again.

01:08:05 #1241 But we haven't had onions for days.

01:08:08 #1242 I know, sir. That's what makes it so funny.

01:08:11 #1243 What are you reading?

01:08:19 #1244 Just a book.

01:08:20 #1245 What's the title?

01:08:27 #1246 Ever read it?

01:08:28 #1247 Hallis' Adventures in Wonderland.

01:08:31 #1248 Well, that's a kid's book.

01:08:32 #1249 Yeah.

01:08:33 #1250 You aren't reading it.

01:08:34 #1251 Yeah.

01:08:35 #1252 What a kid's book! Haven't you read it?

01:08:38 #1253 Nooo!

01:08:39 #1254 You all too!

01:08:41 #1255 How'd up a little crocodile improve his shining tail?

01:08:44 #1256 And pour the waters of the Nile on every golden scale?

01:08:48 #1257 How cheerfully he seems to grin how neatly spread his claws?

01:08:52 #1258 And welcomes little fishes in with gently smiling jaws.

01:08:58 #1259 I don't see no point in that.

01:09:00 #1260 Exactly!

01:09:02 #1261 That's just the point.

01:09:03 #1262 You are a funny fella.

01:09:05 #1263 Why's Ibbid got his tea in there?

01:09:10 #1264 I don't know.

01:09:12 #1265 Can't understand that little fella, can you?

01:09:14 #1266 Who?

01:09:15 #1267 Why Ibbid?

01:09:16 #1268 You ought to see his eyes.

01:09:18 #1269 All red.

01:09:20 #1270 He told me in there he'd got eye fever.

01:09:22 #1271 Rotten thing, hey fever.

01:09:25 #1272 If you ask me, he's been crying.

01:09:28 #1273 Has he?

01:09:29 #1274 I say, old chap, you mind?

01:09:31 #1275 I just want to get a letter off.

01:09:33 #1276 Oh, sorry.

01:09:34 #1277 They haven't collected the letters yet, then?

01:09:36 #1278 Not yet.

01:09:37 #1279 I'll get one off to my old lady.

01:09:40 #1280 She's wrote and asked me if I've got fleas.

01:09:43 #1281 Have you?

01:09:45 #1282 I wish it was fleas.

01:09:47 #1283 I say, that's told me about the rain. Has he?

01:09:57 #1284 Just you and I, isn't it, and ten men?

01:09:58 #1285 Yes, tomorrow, just about dusk.

01:10:01 #1286 How exciting.

01:10:02 #1287 Will you and I pick specially? Yes.

01:10:04 #1288 I say.

01:10:24 #1289 New chap's got the wire cutters.

01:10:25 #1290 Yes, we're all right.

01:10:27 #1291 It's a coupling party out in front.

01:10:28 #1292 I don't.

01:10:31 #1293 The modellers come to keep that blooming machine gun

01:10:33 #1294 quite while we're at.

01:10:35 #1295 Right.

01:10:37 #1296 Come on boys, out you come.

01:10:39 #1297 We've got to cut a good big hole in the wire for our fellas to crawl through on the right tomorrow night.

01:10:43 #1298 Come on boys, over you go.

01:10:44 #1299 Come on.

01:10:45 #1300 Over you go boys.

01:10:46 #1301 Come on let's go honey.

01:10:47 #1302 Come on boys.

01:10:48 #1303 Let's go.

01:10:53 #1304 Please come with me.

01:10:54 #1305 Come on boys.

01:10:55 #1306 Boys everybody back.

01:11:23 #1307 Come on back.

01:11:24 #1308 Come on, lie down this hole here.

01:11:37 #1309 Well husband, everything ready?

01:11:38 #1310 Yes sir.

01:11:39 #1311 The men are standing by at three minutes too.

01:11:41 #1312 Good.

01:11:42 #1313 Mason.

01:11:43 #1314 Coming sir.

01:11:45 #1315 Men having their rum uncle.

01:11:47 #1316 Just as we left.

01:11:48 #1317 Gives it a quarter of an hour to soak in.

01:11:50 #1318 Are they cheerful?

01:11:51 #1319 They're all right, sir.

01:11:52 #1320 Will you go up and speak to them, sir?

01:11:54 #1321 Don't you think the men would rather be left alone?

01:11:57 #1322 I think they'd appreciate a word or two.

01:11:59 #1323 Oh, all right, if you think they would.

01:12:01 #1324 You coming, son-up?

01:12:02 #1325 Yes, sir. I'll come.

01:12:06 #1326 Well, good luck, Osborne.

01:12:08 #1327 I'm sure you'll put up a good show.

01:12:09 #1328 Thank you, sir.

01:12:12 #1329 And Raleigh, just dash in like blazes.

01:12:14 #1330 Grab hold of the first boss you see

01:12:16 #1331 and bundle him back across you.

01:12:17 #1332 Right, sir.

01:12:18 #1333 Remember, a great deal may depend on your bringing back at German. You never know.

01:12:23 #1334 Well, good luck to both of you.

01:12:26 #1335 Thank you, sir.

01:12:27 #1336 Don't forget to empty your pockets of papers and things.

01:12:34 #1337 Uh, sir. Hello?

01:15:32 #1372 But these bombs make much ralph.

01:15:34 #1373 Not much. Personally, I prefer cocoa for breakfast.

01:15:38 #1374 I'm sorry.

01:15:39 #1375 Why sorry? Why shouldn't I have cocoa for breakfast?

01:15:42 #1376 I don't mean that. I mean, will the boss retaliate after the raid?

01:15:50 #1377 Time has come, the war has said to talk of many things.

01:15:53 #1378 Of shoes, and ships, and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.

01:16:51 #1397 And the most awful luxury.

01:16:52 #1398 Two bottles of champagne.

01:16:54 #1399 And half a dozen cigars.

01:16:56 #1400 One each and one spare one in case one explodes.

01:16:58 #1401 Ha.

01:17:50 #1414 Something to hold on to.

01:17:55 #1415 I hate leaving a pipe when it's got a good glow on the top like that.

01:18:00 #1416 What's a pity?

01:18:01 #1417 I think we better go.

01:18:27 #1418 Yes, right, oh.

01:26:10 #1480 She's a blinking toe dog.

01:26:13 #1481 And what did she say to that?

01:26:15 #1482 She said, not in these trousers in French.

01:26:21 #1483 So I simply drew myself up and I said, very well, ma'am, have it your own way.

01:26:26 #1484 And she did?

01:26:31 #1485 No, she didn't.

01:27:04 #1498 I told them if they didn't jolly well shut up,

01:27:06 #1499 I'd chuck them up in the road and leave them.

01:27:08 #1500 You know, you're the sort of man that makes girls hard to please.

01:27:12 #1501 He's dirty, dirty.

01:27:24 #1504 Thank you, sir. It's a good chicken, sir, except the legs.

01:27:28 #1505 They seem a bit queer, sir.

01:27:30 #1506 It's a spring chicken, isn't it, Mason?

01:28:35 #1517 I feel as if I've been blown up with a barcicle pump.

01:28:41 #1518 It's a new look, it too.

01:28:44 #1519 I'd like to tell you, sir, this is the last bottle.

01:29:27 #1535 She never had

01:29:29 #1536 Told me like being up there with a man better than down here with us

01:29:34 #1537 He said that.

01:29:36 #1538 I reckon that ride shook him up more than we thought.

01:29:39 #1539 Oh, little bloke.

01:29:41 #1540 He actually told you he preferred being up there than men, than down here with us.

01:29:48 #1541 That's what he said.

01:29:50 #1542 Well, I hope he gets the MC. That's all.

01:29:53 #1543 Hey, bridge, do you think I want to talk about it?

01:29:56 #1544 I know, but after all...

01:32:23 #1564 Poor little bloke.

01:32:27 #1565 Ah, well, I'll go up and cool off.

01:32:30 #1566 It's hot down here with all them candles burning.

01:33:10 #1570 Miss, bring him a s-eraz dinner.

01:33:14 #1571 Very good, sir.

01:33:15 #1572 I thought I told you to come down to dinner at eight o'clock.

01:33:50 #1573 I'm sorry I didn't think you were...

01:33:52 #1574 Well you didn't think I was.

01:33:54 #1575 I didn't think you'd mind if I didn't.

01:33:56 #1576 Why did you think I asked you but didn't mind?

01:33:59 #1577 I'm sorry.

01:34:01 #1578 Well we've kept your dinner for you.

01:34:03 #1579 It's here.

01:34:05 #1580 It's awfully good if you've kept it for me but I had something to eat up there.

01:34:09 #1581 You had something to eat up there?

01:34:11 #1582 What do you mean exactly?

01:34:13 #1583 Well they brought tea around while I was on duty.

01:34:15 #1584 Are you killing me? You've been feeding with the men?

01:34:18 #1585 They asked me to share.

01:34:19 #1586 I don't care.

01:34:20 #1587 I know you're new to all this.

01:34:22 #1588 But I thought at least you'd have the common sense

01:34:24 #1589 that the men will learn their meals.

01:34:26 #1590 Do you think they want an officer prying around,

01:34:29 #1591 eating their ration, sucking up them like that?

01:34:31 #1592 Why did they ask me that if it didn't mean it?

01:34:33 #1593 Don't you know that they were making up full of you?

01:34:35 #1594 Why should they?

01:34:37 #1595 So you know more about my men than I do.

01:34:40 #1596 Sorry, then, if I was wrong.

01:34:45 #1597 Well, sit down.

01:34:46 #1598 It's all right, thanks.

01:34:47 #1599 Sit down.

01:34:53 #1600 I understand that you prefer being up there than in.

01:34:56 #1601 I didn't say that. I lied.

01:34:57 #1602 I'm not lying. Why should I lie?

01:34:58 #1603 You insulted Trot and Hibber but not coming.

01:35:01 #1604 You realized that, I suppose?

01:35:03 #1605 I didn't mean to do anything like that.

01:35:04 #1606 Well, you did.

01:35:06 #1607 You know now, don't you?

01:35:09 #1608 I see you know now, don't you?

01:35:12 #1609 Yes, I'm sorry.

01:35:14 #1610 My officers work together.

01:35:16 #1611 I'll have no damn prigs.

01:35:19 #1612 I didn't realize.

01:35:20 #1613 Hmm.

01:35:22 #1614 I'm glad you didn't realize.

01:35:24 #1615 Well, what are you looking at?

01:35:30 #1616 Is there anything funny about me?

01:35:36 #1617 No.

01:35:37 #1618 I'm awfully sorry, Dennis.

01:35:42 #1619 I annoyed you by coming into your company.

01:35:44 #1620 What a nerve you're talking about.

01:35:46 #1621 You resent my being here.

01:35:48 #1622 What do you mean?

01:35:49 #1623 You better sit down and eat your dinner before it gets cold.

01:35:54 #1624 I'm not hungry, thanks.

01:35:55 #1625 Oh, for God's sake, sit down and eat it like a man.

01:35:58 #1626 I can't eat it, thanks.

01:35:59 #1627 Are you going to eat your dinner?

01:36:01 #1628 Oh, good God, don't you understand?

01:36:03 #1629 I eat that. When all of us are lying out there.

01:36:06 #1630 Oh, bloody little swine.

01:36:14 #1631 You think I don't care?

01:36:15 #1632 You think you're the only soul that cares?

01:36:17 #1633 I think you can sit there and drink champagne and smoke cigars.

01:36:20 #1634 The one man I could trust.

01:36:22 #1635 My best friend.

01:36:24 #1636 The one man I could talk to as man to man.

01:36:26 #1637 To understand everything.

01:36:29 #1638 You think I don't care? How can you?

01:36:31 #1639 To forget, you little fool.

01:36:34 #1640 To forget.

01:36:35 #1641 Don't you understand?

01:36:37 #1642 To forget?

01:36:40 #1643 Do you think there's no limit to what a man can bear?

01:36:48 #1644 I'm awfully sorry, Dennis.

01:36:51 #1645 I did not understand.

01:36:54 #1646 You don't know how.

01:36:55 #1647 Oh, go away, please.

01:36:57 #1648 Please leave me alone.

01:37:07 #1649 Can't I?

01:37:08 #1650 Oh, get out!

01:37:09 #1651 Hey, out!

01:37:16 #1652 Oh, tell me.

01:37:26 #1653 Oh, please.

01:37:39 #1654 Paul, who goes there?

01:37:41 #1655 Napoleon on all spec and what about it?

01:37:49 #1656 Advance Napoleon on all spec, but tie your alls outside.

01:37:55 #1657 Come on you blokes.

01:37:57 #1658 Well, what about it, son, cuck?

01:38:25 #1659 Why is it all upside down, Major?

01:38:27 #1660 Write down both sides for the support line.

01:38:29 #1661 Yes.

01:38:31 #1662 I'll have a bit of trouble breaking through that job.

01:38:34 #1663 You better get some sleep.

01:38:35 #1664 What time is it?

01:38:37 #1665 About four o'clock.

01:38:38 #1666 Daylight in an hour.

01:38:39 #1667 Think they'll attack this morning?

01:38:41 #1668 I shouldn't wonder.

01:38:42 #1669 Well then, we'd better get some sleep.

01:38:44 #1670 Yes, most you, chaps.

01:38:46 #1671 Sir.

01:39:08 #1672 Hello.

01:39:12 #1673 Is that you, Mason?

01:39:14 #1674 Half past five, sir.

01:39:17 #1675 All right.

01:39:19 #1676 I was only half asleep.

01:39:20 #1677 It's quite thick-killed here.

01:39:24 #1678 It's a cold dugout, this one, sir.

01:39:26 #1679 I've made some opt-tea, though.

01:39:27 #1680 Good.

01:39:29 #1681 You might bring me some, will you?

01:39:31 #1682 Very good, sir.

01:39:32 #1683 And take some into the other officers in there

01:39:34 #1684 and wake them up.

01:39:35 #1685 Very good.

01:39:36 #1686 Wash and brush up, sir.

01:39:57 #1687 I thought you were asleep.

01:39:58 #1688 Oh, I had a nice sleep when I came off duty.

01:40:01 #1689 What time is it?

01:40:02 #1690 Half past five.

01:40:07 #1691 Sounds quiet enough up there.

01:40:09 #1692 Yes.

01:40:15 #1693 Hello, hello.

01:40:18 #1694 Better call the others right now.

01:40:21 #1695 Oh, that's what I want.

01:40:23 #1696 A decent cup of tea.

01:40:24 #1697 Half past five, sir.

01:40:32 #1698 No thanks, Mason.

01:40:39 #1699 What time is it, Mason?

01:40:40 #1700 I've made some artis.

01:40:42 #1701 Oh, Lord.

01:40:44 #1702 Mason.

01:40:45 #1703 Yes, sir?

01:40:46 #1704 As soon as you've cleared your kitchen, get dressed, and join your platoon in the line.

01:40:53 #1705 Very good, sir.

01:40:54 #1706 If things are right by 11 o'clock, come down and do your best to give us some lunch.

01:40:58 #1707 I've got a packet of bread. We just reached gentlemen, sir.

01:41:00 #1708 Right. Take this to battalion headquarters at once.

01:41:20 #1709 No reply.

01:41:21 #1710 Very good, sir.

01:41:23 #1711 You're right.

01:41:42 #1712 Thank you for your time, Captain.

01:41:49 #1713 Good morning, Sergeant Major.

01:41:50 #1714 Good morning, sir.

01:41:51 #1715 The wiring party has been in force.

01:41:53 #1716 We have a decent job of it right down to the support line.

01:41:55 #1717 Good. Everything quiet?

01:41:57 #1718 It's all right, opposite here, sir.

01:41:59 #1719 But the guns are going hard down south.

01:42:01 #1720 Every bombardment.

01:42:02 #1721 Not sure it ain't creeping up here, sir.

01:42:04 #1722 Very likely it is.

01:42:05 #1723 The officers will be up in a minute.

01:42:07 #1724 I've got to stay here for messages.

01:42:09 #1725 But I'll be up as soon as things begin to happen. Very good, sir.

01:42:12 #1726 Have the men having their tea? Yes, sir.

01:42:14 #1727 Well, give them a good drop of rub.

01:42:15 #1728 About half again, sir?

01:42:16 #1729 Yes.

01:42:17 #1730 The attack don't come, sir.

01:42:18 #1731 How long will we to stand, too?

01:42:20 #1732 We must expect this attack any time up to midday.

01:42:22 #1733 Very good, sir. All right, then.

01:42:24 #1734 All right, sir.

01:42:29 #1735 Your sandwiches, sir.

01:42:30 #1736 Off fully beef, off sardine.

01:42:32 #1737 Sardine on top.

01:42:34 #1738 Oh.

01:42:35 #1739 How delicious.

01:42:37 #1740 No pettied foie gras?

01:42:39 #1741 No, sir.

01:42:40 #1742 I say no pettied foie gras?

01:42:43 #1743 No, sir. The milkman hasn't been yet.

01:42:49 #1744 Already, Skipper? Want me to go up?

01:42:51 #1745 Yes, better go up now. Have a look right round the line.

01:42:54 #1746 Right now. And send a runner down.

01:42:56 #1747 Let me know how things are going.

01:42:57 #1748 Right now. Do you want me to go up now?

01:43:10 #1749 Yes. Trotter's gone.

01:43:12 #1750 Right now.

01:43:15 #1751 Sure, Radiff. Well, ma'am, what you doing?

01:43:40 #1752 Do you want me to go up now?

01:43:41 #1753 Well, of course I do.

01:43:42 #1754 The others have gone?

01:43:43 #1755 Can I have some water?

01:43:47 #1756 What do you want water for?

01:43:49 #1757 Oh, it's a practically thirsty.

01:43:52 #1758 All that champagne and stuff to drive my mouth up.

01:43:55 #1759 There you are.

01:44:01 #1760 Do you have any tea?

01:44:03 #1761 Yes, it's a bit sweet now.

01:44:05 #1762 Come on, buck up, then.

01:44:20 #1763 There's no appalling hurry, is there?

01:44:22 #1764 You know, the longer you stay down here, the harder it'll be if you go up.

01:44:25 #1765 I'll go right along now, sir.

01:44:27 #1766 All right, Miss.

01:44:29 #1767 Mr. Hibbert's going up now. You can go with him.

01:44:34 #1768 I'd like to if you don't mind, sir. I don't want to get lost.

01:44:38 #1769 Mr. Hibbert will show you the way.

01:44:40 #1770 Keep your men against the back wall of the trench as long as the shells are dropping behind.

01:44:44 #1771 Cheryl!

01:44:46 #1772 Cheryl! We didn't need to get up, sir.

01:45:40 #1773 Who's just been hit?

01:45:42 #1774 Corporal Ross, sir. He's been in rather badly, sir.

01:45:45 #1775 Those are the shillings going over, isn't he?

01:45:47 #1776 Shells isn't behind, sir.

01:45:48 #1777 behind there was many as a rifle. All right. What about the wounded

01:45:58 #1778 getting them down challenge pretty thick over on the belly. What about

01:46:02 #1779 the first way pretty bad bad to try and take anyone barely hit the big dugout

01:46:08 #1780 and the right very good.

01:46:09 #1781 Give me a shot, look out there, lad.

01:46:24 #1782 Obviously, don't.

01:46:27 #1783 I don't think all the men are standing till the men are on.

01:46:29 #1784 Fairly, sir.

01:46:30 #1785 Look out, Mr. Raleigh.

01:46:32 #1786 Come in, sir.

01:46:41 #1787 What is it, Tom?

01:47:19 #1788 Mr. Raleigh.

01:47:20 #1789 Raleigh's been hit, sir.

01:47:21 #1790 Fred has shells got him in the back, sir.

01:47:25 #1791 Badly.

01:47:26 #1792 Fred has broke his spine, sir.

01:47:28 #1793 He can't move his legs.

01:47:29 #1794 Bring him down here.

01:47:30 #1795 Down here, sir.

01:47:32 #1796 Yes, down here.

01:47:33 #1797 Quickly.

01:47:34 #1798 Very good, sir.

01:47:35 #1799 Take his head, sir.

01:48:09 #1800 He's fainted, sir.

01:48:10 #1801 He was conscious when I picked him up, sir.

01:48:29 #1802 Had they risked the wound?

01:48:31 #1803 They'd rest the wound.

01:48:33 #1804 We'd put a pad on it.

01:48:34 #1805 Count on them all, sir.

01:48:35 #1806 We'll go at once.

01:48:36 #1807 Bring two men to the stretcher.

01:48:38 #1808 We'll never get him down with them shells

01:48:40 #1809 falling on Lance's alley, sir.

01:48:41 #1810 You shall, I say, bring two men to the stretcher.

01:48:43 #1811 Very good, sir.

01:49:16 #1812 Hello, Dennis.

01:49:18 #1813 Hello, Jimmy.

01:49:20 #1814 You got one quickly.

01:49:26 #1815 How did I get down here?

01:49:28 #1816 Sergeant Major brought you down.

01:49:32 #1817 Something hit me in the back.

01:49:34 #1818 Not to be cleaned over.

01:49:36 #1819 So it winded me.

01:49:38 #1820 I'm all right now.

01:49:41 #1821 Oh, steady, old boy, steady.

01:49:45 #1822 Just like quiet for a while.

01:49:48 #1823 Now, I'd be much better if I get up and walk about.

01:49:53 #1824 It happened once before.

01:49:54 #1825 I got kicked in the same place playing rugga.

01:49:58 #1826 So do I.

01:50:01 #1827 Just numbs a bit.

01:50:02 #1828 What's that rumbling noise?

01:50:09 #1829 The guns are making a bit of a noise.

01:50:13 #1830 Are guns?

01:50:14 #1831 No. Mostly theirs.

01:50:16 #1832 I say Dennis.

01:50:24 #1833 Yes Jimmy.

01:50:25 #1834 It hasn't gone through has it? It's only just hit me and knocked me down.

01:50:29 #1835 Well, just gone through a bit Jimmy.

01:50:32 #1836 But I won't have to go on lying here.

01:50:36 #1837 No. I'm gonna have you taken away.

01:50:39 #1838 Away? Where?

01:50:41 #1839 To the dressing station. Then the hospital.

01:50:44 #1840 Then home. You've got a bloody one Jimmy.

01:50:48 #1841 I can't go on lying here just for knocking the back.

01:50:54 #1842 I feel certain I'll be better if I get up.

01:50:57 #1843 Oh! God does hurt.

01:51:03 #1844 It's bound to hurt Jimmy.

01:51:06 #1845 What's on my legs? What's holding them down?

01:51:09 #1846 It's all right Jimmy. It's all right.

01:51:11 #1847 Just a shock that's numb them a bit.

01:51:13 #1848 That's all.

01:51:15 #1849 It's awfully decent of you to bother Dennis.

01:51:20 #1850 That's all right.

01:51:22 #1851 I feel rotten lying here. Everybody else up there?

01:51:26 #1852 It isn't your fault, Jimmy.

01:51:28 #1853 So damn silly getting hit. Just a drop of water.

01:51:35 #1854 Sure. I've got some here. Key leaves in it. Do you mind?

01:51:51 #1855 That's all right, thanks. I say, Dennis.

01:52:09 #1856 Yes, Jimmy.

01:52:11 #1857 Don't you stay if you have to be getting on.

01:52:15 #1858 That's all right.

01:52:16 #1859 Can you stay for a bit?

01:52:18 #1860 Of course I can.

01:52:19 #1861 Thanks awfully. I say Dennis. Yes Jimmy. Could we have a light?

01:52:31 #1862 So fight the dark gold. Sure. I'll get a candle and another blanket.

01:52:46 #1863 There. Said better Jimmy. Jimmy. Message from Mr. Chaudhaseur. Will you come at once?

01:54:23 #1864 Mr. Chaudhose, sir, sirs will you come at once?

01:54:27 #1865 All right, Brody. I'm coming.
