It's a picnic if left to the right officers.
Men who understand our ways.

1:12:05
Treat us like human beings.
What we want is more humane killers.

1:12:09
Good old Colonel Grapple! See you on
personal when you have a moment, sir?

1:12:16
Achtung/
1:12:18
My God! No time for that now.
They must know we're here.

1:12:21
- Rounds per man?
- Three and a half, sir.

1:12:24
When you use that, fix bayonets and die.
1:12:26
Charge is the joke.
Fix bayonets and charge.

1:12:28
- We're all gonna die under funny names.
- Charge.

1:12:32
Good luck to you all. Tally-ho!
1:12:35
Boot the Hun right through to Tunis!
1:12:37
Fire!
1:13:03
Now, bear in mind,
we had him on the run, Jerry.

1:13:07
We'd stood to all night, of course.
1:13:10
As we stood up, the bullets
flew around us. Like rain it was.

1:13:13
I well remember - and bear in mind,
I was platoon sergeant -

1:13:17
it therefore was behove of me
to keep morale up -

1:13:20
so I said, more as a laugh,
1:13:22
cos it wasn't tense or below par...
1:13:25
You very rarely are, at the start line.
1:13:27
Take no notice of the Yanks. They haven't
lived. And they was always bombing us.

1:13:32
Now there's rarely any tenseness.
It's the relaxation you notices.

1:13:37
Little kips all along the start line,
barring them as is already haywire.

1:13:43
So... more to raise a laugh...
1:13:49
Like shoelaces, seeing as they're tight.
Not crippling you, not causing you to trip.

1:13:55
There.
1:13:58
Silly ha'porth! Crippled you. It's important
to raise a laugh on the battlefield.
