Gentlemen.
1:31:15
Bonnets off. Sit down.
1:31:26
Information: Colonel Barrow was found dead
on the evening of February the 21 st...

1:31:30
and on February the 23rd
was adjudged of having committed suicide...

1:31:33
while the balance of his mind
was disturbed.

1:31:35
Inquiries were made of his wife...
1:31:38
and it was her wish that the funeral arrangements
should be made and executed...

1:31:42
by the officer
now commanding the battalion.

1:31:46
Intention:
The battalion will bury their colonel.

1:31:51
Joke? Funny joke?
1:31:54
I'm sorry, Colonel.
1:31:56
Method: The colonel will be given
the full honors of a martial funeral.

1:32:00
We can divide the operation
into three distinct parts—

1:32:03
before the ceremony,
the burial itself...

1:32:06
the return to barracks.
1:32:07
Before the ceremony...
1:32:10
the regimental sergeant major
will parade the battalion in line...

1:32:13
"A" Company on the right...
1:32:15
carrying party
and pipes and drums in the rear...

1:32:18
the color party under Mr. MacKinnon.
1:32:20
- Sir.
- The carrying party itself...

1:32:23
will be comprised of the eight
senior sergeants acting as bearers...

1:32:26
with a full platoon of men drawn from
all companies to pull the gun carriage.

1:32:30
- Good grief.
- I didn't ask for comments.

1:32:34
On my command, the battalion will move
to the right in columns of three...

1:32:37
and slow-march out of barracks.
1:32:40
There will be a rehearsal tomorrow
at 1000 hours. We'll deal with —

1:32:44
- Permission to interrupt, sir.
- Granted.

1:32:47
1000 hours is battalion orders, sir.
1:32:49
There will be
no battalion orders tomorrow.

1:32:51
Begging your pardon, sir.
There are several men under arrest.

1:32:53
Don't answer me back, Mr. Riddick.
1:32:56
Not now, not ever.
