1:00:01
Disgust, fear of the unknown...
all part of the great gulf
that stands between us two.
1:00:05
Am I right in assuming
that you have little experience
with men of my persuasion?
1:00:11
- No teammates in football?
- No.
1:00:14
No comrades in Korea?
1:00:16
You must think that
the whole world is queer.
1:00:19
Well, you know what?
Is not.
1:00:21
And war certainly isn't.
1:00:23
Oh, there may be
no atheists in the foxholes,
1:00:27
but there are,
occasionally, lovers.
1:00:30
You're talkin'
through your hat now.
1:00:32
- No, I'm not.
I was in the foxholes myself.
- You were a soldier?
1:00:36
I was an officer
in the trenches.
1:00:38
- Was this World War I?
- No, my dear, the Crimean War.
Well, what do you think?
1:00:42
The Great War.
1:00:44
There were trenches when I arrived and
trenches when I left two years later.
1:00:48
Just like in the movies,
only the movies, ahh...
1:00:51
They never get
the stench of it all.
1:00:54
The world reduced to mud and sandbags
and a narrow strip of rainy sky.
1:01:01
What were we talking about?
1:01:05
Oh.
1:01:08
Love.
Love in the trenches.
1:01:12
Barnett.
1:01:15
Was that his name?
1:01:18
Leonard Barnett.
1:01:22
He'd come straight to the front
from school.
1:01:27
From Harrow.
1:01:31
And he looked up to me.
1:01:35
Wasn't like the others.
1:01:38
He didn't care that I was
a working-class man
impersonating my betters.
1:01:44
How strange to be admired
so blindly.
1:01:48
I suppose he loved me.
1:01:53
I remember one morning in particular,
1:01:57
a morning
when the sun came out.
