[Man Narrating]
How I miss Scotland...
:01:15
and the sea... the sea.
:01:18
There's nothing like it
in all the Earth...
:01:21
the salt in your face,
the wind at your back...
:01:25
and all the world before you.
:01:27
And you're freer than a bird in the air
or a fish in the ocean.
:01:31
To be free...
:01:34
I reckon that's why I joined
the Second War to end all wars.

I was at the university studying to be
a teacher when the call to arms occurred.
:01:53
I was only too eager to put aside my studies
for the glory of action.
:01:57
I stopped reading history
and became a part of it.
:02:02
I joined the proud ranks of
the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders...
:02:05
and became Captain Ernest Gordon.
:02:10
My commanding officer was
Lieutenant Colonel Stuart McLean,
:02:14
the finest commander
the 93rd Battalion ever had,
:02:18
a man of deep loyalties
to his country,
:02:21
his duty and his men,
:02:24
a loyalty that was soon to be matched
by his own second in command,
:02:28
Major lan Campbell,
:02:31
a man of passionate devotion to the colonel
as well as the cause.
:02:38
And it was our loyalties
that would eventually be tested.
:02:42
The Argylls had a legacy
or being the last line of defense,
:02:48
and we were to prove
that legacy once again...
:02:51
in the face of defeat...
:02:54
and capture by the enemy.
