Each platoon, troop or tactical unit
:57:08
will detail one man
to carry the triangle at all times.

:57:12
Now watch closely, Clapper, because
in future you will be the triangle man.

:57:18
But any one of you might be called upon
to be conversant with the triangle.

:57:23
So watch closely.
You won't get another chance.

:57:26
It is tied under the chin, like so.
:57:30
On the approach of a friendly aircraft,
:57:33
the bearer stands in a prominent position
and displays the triangle thus.

:57:42
Where's the roller gone?
:57:46
Gripweed, have you stolen the roller?
:57:55
Where's that roller gone?
:57:58
This is the last straw.
:58:02
That is it. No one move from this spot.
:58:07
There'll be no more leave, late-night
passes until that roller is returned.

:58:12
I get you all clean, fit,
ready for fighting and what do you do?

:58:15
There'll be no more privileges.
I'll stop this petty thieving.

:58:21
And, Gripweed, what's more,
who's had my Brylcreem?

:58:25
- You?
- Never touch the stuff, I'm excused hair.

:58:31
There! Italian recreation eyeties!
You can't put a bloody thing down.

:58:37
There is a code, you know. Scavengers.
:58:50
Sticks in my craw. I can take most things
but stealing I draw the line at.

:58:55
Here we are, fighting
the most desperate war in history,

:58:58
and a few wop adventurers
act the giddy goat.
