00:04:40Here dead lie we
00:04:42Because we did not choose to live and shine the land from which we sprung
00:04:49Life after all is nothing much to lose. Oh young men think it is and we were young

00:14:20♪♪
00:14:30♪♪
00:14:40♪♪
00:14:50Have you been wounded?
00:14:52Not properly, sir.
00:14:54I was bleeding a few times, and there was one time I got sent down to a GCS.
00:14:58But it was nothing much, so they sent me back the next day.
00:15:02Of course, you hear the fellas wishing they could lose an arm or a leg.
00:15:07Same as everybody else, I've heard of some of the lads that have tried it on themselves.
00:15:11Have you tried it?
00:15:15Sir?
00:15:16Have you tried it?
00:15:18Oh, no, sir, no.
00:15:20Me and Willie, uh, Bryson, we was thinking of trying it once, but we never did.
00:15:27It wasn't long after that that Willie's number came up.
00:15:34When here?
00:15:36Oh.
00:15:38Oh, sir, I'm so sorry, sorry.
00:15:40I've got to go someplace.
00:15:42Go, bro!
00:15:45Sir!
00:15:46Latrines.
00:15:47Yes, sir.
00:15:48Go on.
00:16:00Come on, Hat.
00:16:03Right, Will.
00:16:04Sergeant, get the rest of your platoon outside with their gear.
00:16:07Pretty lousy.
00:16:08Yes, sir.
00:16:09Come on, Hat.
00:16:10Right, sir.
00:16:11Now, tune up, pretty lousy!
00:16:13All out, pretty lousy!
00:16:15Come on!
00:16:20Come on outside, pretty lousy!
00:16:22Outside with all your gear.
00:16:24Pretty lousy.
00:16:25Come on, Hat.
00:16:27Captain Hargreaves.
00:16:29Prisoner's friend.
00:16:30Prisoner's friend.
00:16:31Fair trial.
00:16:32Fair trial and a quick death.
00:16:33Very funny.
00:16:35Didn't you think it was funny?
00:16:37Not funny if you're in hampshoes.
00:16:57Ready for you, sir.
00:16:59I told you he was a strange one, sir.
00:17:03Attend to that, will you?
00:17:09I wouldn't be in hampshoes if I'd done it.
00:17:13I wouldn't have got caught.
00:17:16Right!
00:17:17Get your picks and shovels!
00:17:19I've got a job for you!
00:17:21Place to hang him when he's good.
00:17:23Place to hang him when he's good.
00:17:27Oh, God!
00:17:29Place to hang him.
00:17:32Hang him by what?
00:17:38Thanks for the smoke, sir.
00:17:49Did you expect to get away with it?
00:17:53Well, I wasn't really thinking about it, sir, one way or the other.
00:17:58I just couldn't stand it anymore.
00:18:00Not the first time, sir.
00:18:02What?
00:18:03Well, I nearly did it once before.
00:18:05I mean, I thought of it.
00:18:07Time of Warren Court.
00:18:10I got sent back on a water party.
00:18:12I was thinking I'd get away, but an MP got his eye on me, so I didn't.
00:18:18And that was all?
00:18:19Yes, sir.
00:18:21Supposing the others had cleared off and left you on your own at Luce or Crone's Wood?
00:18:28I don't think it could have been much worse, sir.
00:18:33Fine, well, forget about that.
00:18:36Tell me about the last time, the time you said you couldn't stand it anymore.
00:18:40What about that?
00:18:43The time this really started going in my head.
00:18:46I got blown into a shell out.
00:18:49Two of the lads pulled me out with their rifles.
00:18:53Well, I'd seen it happen to a bloke a couple of days before.
00:18:57He slips off the duckboards into the hole.
00:19:00You see, and he's bobbing up and down in the mud.
00:19:03You know, like an egg boiling in water with his pack on and everything.
00:19:07Well, I didn't help him, nobody did. He slid down.
00:19:09So, of course, when I gets in the mud, I thought that was my lot, see.
00:19:13I'm going to drown in it like he did.
00:19:15Sucked into it, fighting it, drowning in it.
00:19:19Oh, after that, I couldn't stand it anymore.
00:19:24But the battalion was relieved.
00:19:27You came back here for a rest.
00:19:29Yes, sir.
00:19:31And you waited ten days until you went.
00:19:34Yes, sir.
00:19:35Why?
00:19:38Like I said, sir, I can't say anything different, I couldn't stand it anymore.
00:19:41What, even out of battle?
00:19:42It didn't matter where I was, the only place I could hear guns.
00:19:45That's never the only way you can't hear them.
00:19:47Yes, sir.
00:19:49Mr. Webb, he knew, he knew.
00:19:51He gave me extra rum.
00:19:54Did you say anything to him about it?
00:19:55Oh, not much.
00:19:56There's nothing I could expect a gentleman in his position to do, except what he did.
00:20:00Give him the extra rum.
00:20:02Wouldn't have made any difference to what I did on you, I wasn't going to come back.
00:20:07You mean you planned it?
00:20:09No, sir, no.
00:20:10I didn't have a plan, I haven't got the sense, have I?
00:20:14Maybe one time I would have had the sense, but not...
00:20:20No, it was like being dead, sir.
00:20:22And why did you wait ten days?
00:20:24Oh, I don't know, sir, I didn't have a plan.
00:20:27I went to the M.R. that time, yes.
00:20:31And what did Dr. O'Sullivan say to you?
00:20:33He gave me a number nine, sir, for me bowels.
00:20:36But I spit it out and he wasn't looking.
00:20:39Maybe there was some sort of medicine that would have helped me,
00:20:41but one thing I didn't have any need of was a number nine.
00:20:45And did he give you any other advice?
00:20:47Well, he said I've got cold feet, sir.
00:20:49He said I was a soldier and I should be a bloody soldier.
00:20:52Mind you, I didn't expect any different, I didn't expect him to say anything, except what he did.
00:20:59And why did you go?
00:21:00Well, I thought he might give me some sort of tonic, something to...
00:21:05stop me diarrhoea, stop me shaking, help me sleep.
00:21:10Wouldn't have made any difference to what I did, I knew I wasn't going to go back up the line.
00:21:14Did you know the term was going back into the line before you went?
00:21:17Yes, sir.
00:21:20Is that what finally decided you?
00:21:22No, sir.
00:21:23Then what did decide you?
00:21:26I don't know, I just started walking.
00:21:29Walking away from the guns.
00:21:31Did you know where you were walking to?
00:21:33No, no.
00:21:35After I'd got a few miles away from the guns, I got it into my head that I was making for home.
00:21:41Islington, you know.
00:21:42Home.
00:21:45Didn't make any sense, but that's what I'd got in my head.
00:21:50I must have walked a long way, cos I remember.
00:21:53I took me boots off and me big toe was bleeding.
00:21:57Then I was in a car, sitting on some potatoes.
00:22:02Then I was in a train, and some fellas was playing cards.
00:22:09And I was walking again.
00:22:12And I was talking to this priest, but he was foreign, I didn't know what he was talking about.
00:22:19It was like a dream, sir, I didn't know what I was talking about.
00:22:24It was like a dream, sir, I didn't know what was really happening or what wasn't.
00:22:30Weren't you ever challenged?
00:22:32Only when they picked me up.
00:22:34Not till then?
00:22:35Oh, no.
00:22:37Didn't you hide in ditches and things too?
00:22:42Avoid them?
00:22:43Oh, no, sir, no.
00:22:46Did they say anything to you when they arrested you?
00:22:48Well, just about me being a deserter.
00:22:51And I heard one of them saying to the other about it being a shooting job.
00:22:58Nothing else?
00:23:00You see, there's nobody left in my company that's been out here as long as me, so he can't shoot me.
00:23:07It's likely that you'll be found guilty of desertion.
00:23:11And I'd be failing in my duty if I left the least shadow of doubt in your mind as to the consequences.
00:23:15Well, I don't reckon I'll get off, sir, but they can't shoot me.
00:23:19Unless I can convince the court that you were acting under extraordinary strain at the time that you committed this crime,
00:23:26you will almost certainly be sentenced to death.
00:23:30This was the first time, sir.
00:23:32Mr. Webb, sir, he said I hadn't been a bad soldier.
00:23:35He might say the same to them if he was asked.
00:23:39Yes, he might.
00:23:40Yeah, I thought that was worth mentioning, sir.
00:23:43Can you think of anything else that was worth mentioning?
00:23:48No, sir, no.
00:23:51Did I tell you about Willie?
00:23:53Bryson, yes, you told me about the letter.
00:23:55Well, about when Willie was killed.
00:23:58You told me that he'd been killed.
00:24:00Well, I don't know if you can tell him about something like that.
00:24:04Well, it's important for you to tell me.
00:24:07Well, see, I was alongside of him when it happened.
00:24:10Same as many a time before, five, six yards away.
00:24:16It wasn't the first time I'd seen a man blown to bits, of course.
00:24:20It wasn't even as if Willie was anything special to me.
00:24:23Well, just a bit, you know, because he came from up our street, but that's all.
00:24:26I mean, nothing special.
00:24:29One thing about Willie, it was quick.
00:24:31See, I never saw it.
00:24:32I'm five or six yards away, I turned around, and now Willie's nowhere.
00:24:36Except over me.
00:24:38Oh, I'll tell you, I had to get me a new uniform.
00:24:48This is a question that I may have to ask you in court, sir.
00:24:53I shall ask you now.
00:24:56If they were lenient enough to send you to prison,
00:25:02could you be relied upon to do your duty when you came out?
00:25:06I'll try my best, sir.
00:25:07I don't mean that.
00:25:10Could you be relied on to go up the line and stay up the line?
00:25:17I mean that exactly, nothing less.
00:25:22Do you understand me?
00:25:24Yes, sir.
00:25:26Well.
00:25:28Do I have to tell you the truth, sir?
00:25:31Could you?
00:25:33Can you tell me, sir?
00:25:36No.
00:25:39Can you tell me anyway, being sure?
00:26:06The prisoner's ready, sir.
00:26:07It shouldn't take long, sir.
00:26:08It's a bad business.
00:26:11Who's in charge of the later formalities, sir?
00:26:14One thing at a time, Sergeant Major.
00:26:16Yes, sir.
00:26:36Good luck.
00:27:02What's the matter with this?
00:27:03What is it? Horse or mule?
00:27:05Pig.
00:27:11If we was left to ourselves now, we'd all be home in bed, haven't we?
00:27:15Yeah, but I didn't say anything about that.
00:27:17You can't win a war lying in bed, can you?
00:27:19No, but...
00:27:20So you do what you're told.
00:27:24It doesn't make sense.
00:27:26That's not our fault, is it?
00:27:29Keep an eye open, cop. Pity they wasted on that lot.
00:27:32Where's the best bit?
00:27:33This bit.
00:27:34Chopper.
00:27:39Knife.
00:27:45Dixie.
00:27:50Right.
00:27:51Well, now we'll see what we can do for our officers.
00:27:55How's that, Gavin?
00:27:57How's that?
00:27:58I'd have got him all spruced up like for his wedding.
00:28:01Cut himself shaving, of course.
00:28:03Well, if they shoot him, we won't have to belly him.
00:28:06We just push him over and watch him sink.
00:28:08They won't do it.
00:28:10You any gill, sir?
00:28:11No, I think he's had it.
00:28:13I'm afraid he's had it, you know.
00:28:23He's going to get the silly bastard off, don't you think?
00:28:27You think so?
00:28:28I hope he's right.
00:28:31I'll certainly do my best.
00:28:32Oh, don't misunderstand me. My interest is purely personal.
00:28:35I don't want my men used as a firing squad.
00:28:37And I certainly don't want to be the jazzy, bloody sabre master shot at fire.
00:28:41Why you?
00:28:42Oh, I'm number one on the colonel's sweat list at the moment.
00:28:45I see.
00:28:47When it comes to my turn, I'll perjure myself in the manor, if you like.
00:28:50Truth to be told.
00:28:52Good luck, my learned friend.
00:28:54You'll all be mine!
00:28:55You'll all be mine!
00:28:56You'll all be mine!
00:28:57You'll all be mine!
00:28:59You'll all be mine!
00:29:01Come on, come on!
00:29:04Take it!
00:29:05Let me out!
00:29:07And mark time!
00:29:09Princess Gordon!
00:29:11Halt!
00:29:13The right turn!
00:29:15I am Campbell.
00:29:24Corporal.
00:29:28Princess Gordon.
00:29:29The left turn!
00:29:32Quick march!
00:29:33Yes, sir!
00:29:46My people!
00:29:48Mark time!
00:29:51Princess Gordon!
00:29:52Halt!
00:29:54Yes, sir!
00:29:57873426, private house!
00:29:59Yes, sir!
00:30:01Is that your name and number?
00:30:02Yes, sir.
00:30:04Mr. Prescott, would you pass me that?
00:30:08The accused, number 873426, private ham, Arthur James, soldier of the regular forces.
00:30:15You're charged with, when on active service, attempting to desert his majesty's service.
00:30:23In that you absented yourself from duty without orders from your superior officer.
00:30:27For approximately 0700 hours on October the 10th this year, at a place called Jackdaw Tunnel.
00:30:34Until October the 11th of this year, when you were arrested by the military police near Calais.
00:30:39Guilty or not guilty?
00:30:41Not guilty, sir.
00:30:43Speak up!
00:30:45Not guilty, sir.
00:30:47Very well.
00:30:48I have to ask you if you object to any members of the court.
00:30:51Myself, or either of these two officers.
00:30:53I'm surprised, sir, that as convening officer you're also president of the court martial.
00:30:57There are no other field officers available, Captain Hargraves.
00:31:00I must appoint myself.
00:31:02Are you making a formal objection?
00:31:04No, sir.
00:31:06May I stand at ease, private ham?
00:31:08I've spoken to Captain Midgley, and we've agreed that I won't dispute the facts of the case.
00:31:13So all the witnesses will be called by the defense.
00:31:15Oh, that will save the court's time.
00:31:16I submit that the prisoner absented himself at a time when, because of his mental health,
00:31:22he was not fully responsible for his actions.
00:31:24Mental health, Captain Hargraves?
00:31:26Do you mean that the prisoner is lunatic?
00:31:28No, sir.
00:31:29Or mentally deficient?
00:31:31No, sir.
00:31:33There must be hundreds of thousands of men who are in an unhappy mental state,
00:31:37but who have not absented themselves from their duty.
00:31:40I realize that, sir.
00:31:41Are you ready for your first witness?
00:31:43Yes, sir.
00:31:48Call Corporal Hamilton.
00:31:50Corporal Hamilton!
00:31:56Hold the book in your right hand.
00:31:59I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I forgive before you,
00:32:02will not be used against you.
00:32:04I will not use it against you.
00:32:06I will not use it against you.
00:32:08I will use it against you.
00:32:09I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I forgive before this court
00:32:12shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
00:32:14I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I forgive before this court
00:32:17shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
00:32:19Corporal Hamilton, I believe that you apprehended the prisoner.
00:32:22Yes, sir.
00:32:23What did he say to you?
00:32:25Not much, sir. Only...
00:32:27Well, he tried to tell us he was going on leave, of course.
00:32:29Yes.
00:32:31A soldier going on leave is required to carry with him a full pack and equipment, is he not?
00:32:34Yes, sir.
00:32:36And the prisoner was carrying?
00:32:37Gas helmet, rifle, and bandolier, sir.
00:32:40Wouldn't have stood very much chance of getting on board a leave ship in that gear, would he?
00:32:43No, sir.
00:32:45Rather a silly story, wasn't he?
00:32:47Yes, sir.
00:32:49And how do you account for it?
00:32:51Well, sir, he could have, for all I know, he could have been just stupid.
00:33:08This thing.
00:33:19You can't have her.
00:33:22Gives us a day off, though, doesn't it?
00:33:37Fuck!
00:33:43I'm not going up to the front and leave that bloody bastard behind me alive!
00:33:47Hold on!
00:33:49Bloody, bloody rat!
00:33:51Come on, let's go!
00:33:57Corporal Hamilton, I presume that during the course of your duty you have arrested other deserters,
00:34:02other men who have absented themselves from service.
00:34:05Yes, sir. Quite a few, sir.
00:34:07Did any of them behave in the same way as this prisoner?
00:34:10Much the same, sir.
00:34:12In particular, did some of them, to use your own words,
00:34:14did some of them appear to you to be stupid or behaving as if in a daze?
00:34:18Yes, sir, I suppose so.
00:34:20In short, was there anything remarkable or extraordinary about this prisoner compared with others?
00:34:26I mean, if there had been something extraordinary, you would have thought about it, wouldn't you?
00:34:31The thing that surprised me, sir, was how he got so far as us.
00:34:34By rights, he shouldn't have had a hope.
00:34:37He must have been through places thick with patrols, like Popper Ridge and that.
00:34:42Perhaps he wasn't quite as simple as he seemed.
00:34:45After all, he did get very close to an embarkation point, didn't he?
00:34:49That's all, corporal. No more questions. Thank you, sir.
00:35:05Look at that.
00:35:07There must be dozens of them in there.
00:35:09And too full to be nippy.
00:35:11Shall I jump on it?
00:35:12No.
00:35:26Right.
00:35:28When I say now, dump the belly.
00:35:31Now!
00:35:32Now!
00:35:40Captain O'Sullivan, do you remember the prisoner reporting sick to you on or about October the 8th of this year?
00:35:46On the 7th, yes. I looked it up.
00:35:48And what did he complain?
00:35:52I remember quite clearly.
00:35:54He complained of nerves.
00:35:56Nerves.
00:35:58He didn't tell you that he was finding it impossible to sleep?
00:36:00He may have.
00:36:02Yes, I believe he did.
00:36:03But you didn't take this very seriously?
00:36:05No. It's not uncommon.
00:36:07It certainly isn't uncommon for me to be told such things.
00:36:10You mean you didn't believe him?
00:36:12No, I didn't say that.
00:36:14Every medical officer hears this kind of thing five or six times a day.
00:36:17Did you believe this man?
00:36:21No.
00:36:23Why not?
00:36:25Seems a permissible question.
00:36:27Why not?
00:36:28Why didn't you believe him when he said he couldn't sleep?
00:36:30I didn't say I didn't believe that.
00:36:33Very well.
00:36:35What other symptoms did he complain?
00:36:37I said he was off his food. I said he was feeling a bit shaky.
00:36:40Shaky.
00:36:41Uncontrollable bouts of trembling?
00:36:44Don't know about uncontrollable.
00:36:46You don't know about it, but did you bother to find out?
00:36:49Are you challenging my competence?
00:36:51I don't want to interfere with your defence, Captain Hargraves, but must you attack the witness?
00:36:54It's not Captain O'Sullivan's competence which is at stake, sir.
00:36:57It's this man's life.
00:36:59You said you didn't believe him.
00:37:01What didn't you believe?
00:37:03Oh, damn it, Charlie. I knew what he was after.
00:37:05Did this man lie to you? And if so, what did he say?
00:37:07I knew what he wanted, to be sent down the line.
00:37:10Did he say so?
00:37:12Did he what?
00:37:14Did he ask to be relieved from duty?
00:37:16Not in so many words. Of course he didn't.
00:37:18And how long did this interview last for you?
00:37:23Five minutes, ten minutes.
00:37:25And after that, you lost interest in the man?
00:37:27What do you expect me to do? I haven't got time for everyone's emotional problems.
00:37:31But you were sure that an interview of five or ten minutes was sufficient for this case?
00:37:36Yes.
00:37:37Why were you so sure?
00:37:39Because I didn't believe him.
00:37:41You didn't believe him?
00:37:43No.
00:37:44Yes.
00:37:46Why were you so sure?
00:37:48Experience. My own judgment, of course. Experience.
00:37:56And you usually prescribe the same treatment?
00:37:59More or less. More or less.
00:38:02Laxative pills.
00:38:04A good clean-up never hurt anybody.
00:38:06Is that the only relief you can offer a man? Laxative pills?
00:38:08I'll prescribe one for you in a minute.
00:38:11Captain O'Sullivan.
00:38:12Were laxative pills in the slightest degree relevant to what was wrong with this man?
00:38:16There was nothing wrong with him.
00:38:18And I told him so.
00:38:20Did you? What did you say?
00:38:22I talked to him man to man.
00:38:24I told him he wasn't the first soldier to feel a bit jumpy.
00:38:27I told him he'd be all right, back to normal.
00:38:30I told him to try to eat, try to get some sleep.
00:38:33What else could I say?
00:38:35I told him to pull himself together.
00:38:37Has the incidence of medical reports of this sort been growing recently?
00:38:39I haven't got time for statistics.
00:38:41Or diagnoses, it seems.
00:38:43No, no, no.
00:38:53What are the symptoms of shell shock?
00:38:55Shell shock is a different matter altogether.
00:38:57Is there an exact moment in the life of a soldier
00:39:00before which he is not suffering from shell shock and after which he is?
00:39:03An exact boundary about which no two doctors will ever know.
00:39:06An exact boundary about which no two doctors will ever disagree.
00:39:11An exact boundary on the one side of which a man is required by army law
00:39:15to pull himself together,
00:39:17or on the other, if he cannot,
00:39:19is liable to be shot as a criminal, is there?
00:39:23This has nothing whatever to do with what we're all here for.
00:39:26I must say, Captain Hargraves, I agree with that.
00:39:29Do you, sir?
00:39:31Then what are we here for?
00:39:34A mock trial?
00:39:37That remark's entirely improper, Captain Hargraves.
00:39:44I apologise, sir.
00:39:47Proceed.
00:39:55Does the term shell shock have an exact medical meaning?
00:40:01Yes, of course it has.
00:40:03And a five or ten minute examination
00:40:04is quite sufficient time in your estimation
00:40:07to judge whether a man is or is not suffering from shell shock.
00:40:11It is not my job to maintain a bedroom.
00:40:14God knows you of all people should realise I've got no time for such rubbish.
00:40:18You expect me to leave wounded soldiers to die while I cross question cowards?
00:40:23What I'm asking is,
00:40:25is there not a borderline...
00:40:27This was not a borderline case of anything.
00:40:30How many times do I got to tell you?
00:40:32This was a case of cold feet.
00:40:34Miserable punk.
00:40:36Nothing more or less.
00:40:38Are you sure?
00:40:39Yes.
00:40:50I ask you most earnestly.
00:40:54Are you absolutely sure?
00:40:58How could a man responsible for his actions
00:41:00do such a hopeless, desperately stupid thing as this man?
00:41:06When they found him,
00:41:08he was trying to walk home to England.
00:41:14He might just as well have tried to clear a German trench single-handed.
00:41:24Is it not obvious to you
00:41:27that this man had lost possession of himself?
00:41:33You've made your point, Captain Hargraves.
00:41:35Have you any more questions for Captain O'Sullivan?
00:41:39No, sir.
00:41:51Captain Midgley.
00:41:52Yes, sir, if you please.
00:41:54Captain O'Sullivan,
00:41:55have any of the defending officers' questions
00:41:58altered the conclusion you came to about the prisoner
00:42:01when he reported to you on October the 7th?
00:42:03No, not in the slightest.
00:42:05In view of the speculation we have heard,
00:42:08will you now tell the court in your own words
00:42:10what that conclusion was?
00:42:12Yes.
00:42:14I found the prisoner fit for duty,
00:42:16provided he was kept under discipline
00:42:18and discouraged from malingering.
00:42:20And there's nothing you wish to add to your judgment now
00:42:22by way of qualification?
00:42:23Nothing whatever.
00:42:25He's proved me right, hasn't he?
00:42:27And that's all there is to say about it.
00:42:29He did turn and run, didn't he?
00:42:31Thank you, Captain O'Sullivan.
00:42:40Were you in the area between our billet and the cookhouse
00:42:43at 1500 hours today?
00:42:45Yes, he admits he was in the area
00:42:48between our billet and the cookhouse at 1500 hours today.
00:42:50Right.
00:42:51Right.
00:42:53Did you or did you not call up the private sparrow
00:42:55and take a bite out of his earhole?
00:43:00No, he did not call up the private sparrow
00:43:02and take a bite out of his earhole.
00:43:04Right, and one last question.
00:43:06If you had been in our billet today,
00:43:08would you have done a thing like that?
00:43:11No.
00:43:13He's not that sort of rat.
00:43:18Captain Minchley,
00:43:19would you like to cross-examine the accused?
00:43:27You've been telling a lot of bloody lies, haven't you?
00:43:33No.
00:43:35No, I haven't been telling a lot of bloody lies.
00:43:38You're just an ordinary rat
00:43:40who only eats dead flesh, hmm?
00:43:44Hmm.
00:43:46I'm just a normal rat.
00:43:47Well then,
00:43:49if you're just a normal rat
00:43:51who only eats dead flesh, why?
00:43:53When all the other rats
00:43:55were coming out of the front end,
00:43:57what were you doing coming out of the back end?
00:43:59Hmm?
00:44:04He's crying.
00:44:11And after that, his nerve had gone.
00:44:13Absolutely.
00:44:15I imagine that there were others of your men
00:44:17who were in a similar condition at that time,
00:44:19were there not?
00:44:21Well, he must have been in a worse way
00:44:23than the others, sir.
00:44:25Well, we don't know that he was in any worse condition
00:44:27than his comrades.
00:44:29We only know what he decided to do about it.
00:44:31With respect, sir, he did not decide to do it.
00:44:33If you'll let me carry on.
00:44:35Continue.
00:44:37Was the prisoner popular in his platoon?
00:44:39Oh, yes.
00:44:41He always shared anything he had.
00:44:43And he's the nearest we've got left now
00:44:45to a founding member, of course.
00:44:48I don't suppose it matters,
00:44:50but he brewed a damn good cup of tea.
00:44:56Was he a good soldier before this happened?
00:44:59First class.
00:45:01Fair enough.
00:45:03Not a born soldier, but first class.
00:45:05And you were surprised when you heard that he'd absconded?
00:45:07Oh, yes, I was.
00:45:09From what you know of him,
00:45:11do you believe that he'd have to be a little unhinged
00:45:13to do what he did?
00:45:15Yes.
00:45:19No more questions, sir.
00:45:21Captain Midgley?
00:45:23First class soldier.
00:45:25Yes.
00:45:27His record is singularly blank.
00:45:29Neither good nor bad.
00:45:31His principal talent as a soldier
00:45:33seems to be in staying alive.
00:45:35Surely we're not trying a man for staying alive, are we?
00:45:37The war hasn't got to that stage, has it?
00:45:39Mr Webb.
00:45:41Hargrave's here.
00:45:43He's a sole survivor of an assault on the sun.
00:45:45They didn't try him for that.
00:45:47Mr Webb, about this mental unhinging,
00:45:49did you see any actual sign of it yourself?
00:45:51Well, it depends.
00:45:53I mean, if you had, it surely would have been your duty
00:45:55to see that something was done about it, wouldn't it?
00:45:57Did the idea occur to you before he went absent?
00:46:01No, but he could have been ill,
00:46:04in his mind, even if I didn't see it beforehand.
00:46:07Can you offer any evidence that he was?
00:46:10He'd had a bad time.
00:46:13Well, I mean, I don't blame him.
00:46:15We all get the wind up sometimes.
00:46:17I'd much prefer a man to vote beforehand
00:46:19rather than crack up under fire,
00:46:21endangers the whole platoon.
00:46:23Mr Webb, isn't it true to say,
00:46:26however much we may regret it
00:46:28and however much we may sympathize,
00:46:30isn't it true to say that this man
00:46:32simply allowed his fear to become his master?
00:46:34There's more in it than that.
00:46:36I ask you again,
00:46:38can you recall any evidence to support what you say?
00:46:42I've said what I believe.
00:46:45Thank you, Mr Webb.
00:46:47Thank you, sir.
00:46:49Very well.
00:47:18Got it!
00:47:20Got it!
00:47:22Broke his bloody back!
00:47:30It's as though a devil's got hold of me legs, see?
00:47:33He's pulling me down.
00:47:35I'm not even wounded.
00:47:37I'm not even wounded,
00:47:39and I'm going to get drowned in the mud.
00:47:41Something had it in for me, I knew that.
00:47:43This idea that the devil was after you
00:47:45did it stay in your mind
00:47:47after you'd been rescued from the mud?
00:47:49Not in the same way, sir, no.
00:47:51No.
00:47:53So it wasn't the devil.
00:47:55Why did you run away?
00:47:57I didn't run, sir. I walked.
00:47:59I just started walking.
00:48:01I don't know why.
00:48:04It's not true to say, is it,
00:48:06that you deliberately decided to desert,
00:48:09that you deliberately decided
00:48:12and hoped to get away with it?
00:48:13Well, I wasn't really thinking about it, sir.
00:48:15No, I know you weren't thinking about it.
00:48:17No, I was hoping that you wouldn't get me caught, sir.
00:48:19But you really won't,
00:48:21you weren't clearly thinking of anything at the time, were you?
00:48:23Well, I just wanted to get away from the guns, sir.
00:48:26Had you any idea where you were going?
00:48:31No, sir, not really.
00:48:33I just wanted to get left alone for a bit, I thought.
00:48:36Private Hampton, you say you wanted to be left alone for a bit.
00:48:39Does that mean that you intended to return to the battalion?
00:48:42I don't know, sir.
00:48:44That's because you don't remember anything very clearly, isn't it?
00:48:47That's right, sir, yes.
00:48:49Yes.
00:48:51You had no clear plan or reason in your mind, did you?
00:48:54I just started going, sir.
00:48:56You know, I couldn't help myself.
00:49:00Well,
00:49:02like you told me to say, sir,
00:49:04I was acting under extraordinary strife.
00:49:05I can't think of anything else, sir.
00:49:08Is it all right if I ask you a question, sir?
00:49:11Yes, carry on.
00:49:13Well, I'd sooner you tell them, sir.
00:49:15You know more about it than me.
00:49:18All right.
00:49:20Are there any more questions, Captain Hargreaves?
00:49:24Captain Midgley.
00:49:26Private Hampton,
00:49:28you said you wanted to be left alone for a bit.
00:49:31Yes, sir.
00:49:32Captain Midgley.
00:49:34Private Hampton,
00:49:36did you know you were doing wrong when you deserted?
00:49:39If anybody tried to stop me, I'd have died, sir.
00:49:41Well, didn't you wait till you made sure that there was nobody there to stop you?
00:49:44No.
00:49:46Well, I think I was just lucky, sir.
00:49:48Very much a matter of opinion.
00:49:50Look, what I really want to know is this.
00:49:53You did know, didn't you, that it was your duty
00:49:56to stay with your battalion?
00:49:58Yes, sir.
00:49:59You were very well aware of that all the time that you were absent,
00:50:02from the first moment that you decided to...
00:50:05decided to leave.
00:50:07I... I don't know, sir.
00:50:09But you could walk, talk, think, like anybody else.
00:50:13And you managed to get quite a long way away, didn't you?
00:50:15Well, like I just said, sir, I was lucky.
00:50:18Well, let me put this to you quite simply.
00:50:21Did you know what you were doing?
00:50:24I knew what I was doing, sir.
00:50:26And you realised that you were leaving your comrades at their posts
00:50:29and you had to do their duty while you deserted them.
00:50:32Didn't you?
00:50:34Didn't you?
00:50:35I've never done this before, sir.
00:50:37This was the first time.
00:50:42No more questions, sir.
00:50:45That'll do, Private Hampton.
00:50:55Captain Hoggis, will you address the court now on the prisoner's behalf?
00:50:59No, sir.
00:51:01I will address the court on its behalf.
00:51:07The prisoner, when he did the thing for which he's being tried,
00:51:10was no longer responsible for his actions.
00:51:12This court is responsible for its actions.
00:51:15It has not lost possession of itself.
00:51:17This court knows clearly what it's doing.
00:51:19This court has the power to choose.
00:51:22Private Hampton is not a liar.
00:51:25He's not glib, he has no ready answers.
00:51:28He has an embarrassing honesty
00:51:30which made him a bad witness in his own case.
00:51:32He could have put a bullet through his leg
00:51:34and suffered nothing more serious than eternal imprisonment.
00:51:38He even told me that he thought of doing so.
00:51:40But he didn't.
00:51:42He stayed.
00:51:46And as such,
00:51:47he stayed.
00:51:50A deserter, in full consciousness of what he's doing,
00:51:53runs away to save his own skin
00:51:56and leaves his fellows to do the fighting and the dying for him.
00:51:59This man is not a deserter.
00:52:02He volunteered.
00:52:04He volunteered because his wife and her mother
00:52:07dared him to.
00:52:09Never mind, he volunteered.
00:52:12He's been out here for three years,
00:52:14longer, if I may say so, than some of us have been.
00:52:17He's seen it all.
00:52:20A man can only take so much.
00:52:24So much blood.
00:52:26So much filth.
00:52:28So much dying.
00:52:31In the shell hole,
00:52:33he thought he was drowning in the mud,
00:52:35he thought his time had come and it had.
00:52:37After that, he was no longer responsible for his actions.
00:52:41He hadn't got the power to decide whether to stay or to go.
00:52:43He had one instinct only left.
00:52:47The instinct to walk.
00:52:49To walk home.
00:52:51To walk away from the guns.
00:52:54But they've become a fact of our daily lives.
00:52:58So much so that we no longer ask each other why they're being fired.
00:53:04Is this war so old?
00:53:06And are we so old in it
00:53:08that we've forgotten?
00:53:09Are we not fighting
00:53:11to preserve some notion of decency?
00:53:15Some notion of justice?
00:53:18To preserve for this court
00:53:21the right to choose?
00:53:33I don't know.
00:53:35I don't know.
00:53:37I beg to remind the court that if justice is not done to one man,
00:53:42then other men are dying for nothing.
00:54:07A matter of opinion.
00:54:14Mr. Prescott,
00:54:16you as our legal member advise the court on the law
00:54:19that applies to this case.
00:54:24The court will remember
00:54:26that this soldier takes the law of England with him wherever he goes.
00:54:30And he is protected by it.
00:54:32The accused does not have to prove himself innocent
00:54:34the prosecution must prove him guilty.
00:54:37And if the members of the court have any reasonable doubt,
00:54:40but it mustn't be a fanciful doubt,
00:54:43they must give him the benefit of it.
00:54:46You've heard before you the opinion of a Italian medical officer
00:54:49which is that at the time the prisoner left the battalion
00:54:52he was fit for duty
00:54:54and was not shell-shocked
00:54:56but only suffering from what the doctor described as cold feet.
00:55:00You mustn't be unduly swayed by the eloquence
00:55:02of the defending officer
00:55:04who has quite properly made out the best case he can.
00:55:07If you doubt that the prisoner really meant to deserve
00:55:10and you believe that he merely went absent without leave
00:55:13and intended to return after a few days
00:55:15you will give a verdict accordingly.
00:55:17On the other hand,
00:55:19if you are satisfied that the prisoner really deserved it,
00:55:22it is your duty to find him guilty.
00:55:26As to the stress the defending officer laid upon the prisoner
00:55:29being a volunteer,
00:55:30neither must you be unduly swayed by that.
00:55:33The army is now composed of regulars, of volunteers
00:55:37and of conscripts
00:55:39and one law applies to them all.
00:55:42And it is the court's duty to administer the law as it stands.
00:55:52We'll proceed immediately to our discussion of the case.
00:55:55Sir!
00:55:57Captain Hargraves.
00:55:58Captain Hargraves.
00:56:04Escort! For the right of prisoner!
00:56:07Prisoner escorts!
00:56:09Turn!
00:56:11Quick march! Left we go!
00:56:13Left, right, left, right!
00:56:29Thanks for cutting my throat, old boy.
00:56:31Well, you were overdoing it a bit. I couldn't help it.
00:56:33I thought there was a great deal in what you said, if I may say so.
00:56:36Thank you. You did very well, Hargraves. I hope you got him off.
00:56:39I hope so, too.
00:56:41But you know a proper court is concerned with law.
00:56:43It's a bit amateur to plead for justice.
00:56:55What do you want now, then?
00:56:57Have you seen my rifle, Corp?
00:57:00Why would you be wanting that?
00:57:02Well, I just thought I might give it a clean, you know.
00:57:05Something to do.
00:57:12It won't have anything to do with the court-martial. It could be anybody, you know.
00:57:15I kept forgetting how he was talking about me.
00:57:19Oh, Mr. Hargraves, he gave him a lovely speech.
00:57:23This man is not a deserter.
00:57:24This man is not a deserter.
00:57:30Well...
00:57:32You've been twice since you got back, already.
00:57:34It's not my fault, is it?
00:57:36Right, guns!
00:57:38Let's in!
00:57:48Help yourself, Mr. Morris.
00:57:50Stand easy, Mr. Prescott.
00:57:52Um...
00:57:54Mr. Morris wishes to know whether we can find the prisoner guilty
00:57:57and recommend mercy.
00:57:59Well, yes, sir, you may.
00:58:01And you may either confirm the sentence yourself
00:58:04or send it to higher authority for confirmation.
00:58:07I see.
00:58:08Mr. Prescott.
00:58:10Never mind.
00:58:12Would you help Captain Cartwright prepare a finding?
00:58:15Guilty of desertion, but, um...
00:58:17Emphasize good conduct, length of service, that kind of thing.
00:58:20But don't put in anything about mental health.
00:58:22They're not interested in that sort of thing at headquarters.
00:58:25When you've finished, have it read to the prisoner
00:58:27and then send it off for confirmation.
00:58:29Right, gentlemen.
00:58:48Won't know anything for a bit yet.
00:58:50It's got to go to the generals and that lot.
00:58:52It'll be a week, then.
00:58:54They're all pinned down in Paris, you know.
00:58:56What's Hamp thinking, I wonder?
00:58:58If he's got any sense, he's not thinking.
00:59:00Well, whatever happens, he's not going up the line again.
00:59:02Do you know what he said when he got back?
00:59:04They're taking a lot of trouble over me.
00:59:06Feels bloody honored, he does.
00:59:08He is.
00:59:09They're taking 24 hours to kill him.
00:59:11The journey wouldn't take that long, eh?
00:59:13He'll get the glass house.
00:59:15Governor Hargreaves, sir.
00:59:17Yes?
00:59:18I don't know whether it's allowed, sir,
00:59:19but he says he'd like to see you.
00:59:22Who?
00:59:23Private Hampson.
00:59:26Oh, that's a good man.
00:59:28He's a good man.
00:59:30He's a good man.
00:59:32He's a good man.
00:59:34He's a good man.
00:59:36He's a good man.
00:59:38He's a good man.
00:59:40He's a good man.
00:59:42He's a good man.
00:59:44Would that be legal, Mr. Prescott?
00:59:46Well, I'm afraid it'd be highly irregular, sir.
00:59:48It would be kind.
00:59:52All right, I'm going.
01:00:06Yes?
01:00:08Messages for the colonel, sir.
01:00:10I see.
01:00:11Come with me.
01:00:15Thank you very much.
01:00:17Excuse me, sir.
01:00:18Message, sir.
01:00:19Thank you, Mr. Webb.
01:00:25Go and get yourself something to eat, corporal.
01:00:27Thank you, sir.
01:00:34Gentlemen, your attention, please.
01:00:37The battalion will be moving into the line
01:00:39tomorrow morning at 0600 hours.
01:00:41We'll be reinforcing a battalion of the Munster Fusiliers.
01:00:44Captain Cartwright,
01:00:45would you ask all company commanders
01:00:47to come to my billet after dinner
01:00:49at 0200 hours?
01:00:50Right, sir.
01:00:51Thank you, gentlemen.
01:01:15Well, Ham?
01:01:24Stand here, sir.
01:01:27Uh...
01:01:29Yes, sir.
01:01:31Yes, sir.
01:01:33Yes, sir.
01:01:35Yes, sir.
01:01:37Yes, sir.
01:01:39Yes, sir.
01:01:40Yes, sir.
01:01:42Yes, sir.
01:01:44It's just that I'd like to thank you, sir.
01:01:47In case, uh...
01:01:50Well, you know, I expect I'll get put in military prison,
01:01:53you know, and, uh...
01:01:55In case I don't see you for a while.
01:02:00Well, we, uh...
01:02:02We don't know where you'll be put
01:02:04if you're put anywhere.
01:02:07Well, anyway, sir, I would like to miss thanking you.
01:02:10You've taught me a lot of things, sir,
01:02:12and I'm very grateful.
01:02:15Have I?
01:02:18Rather too late, I fear.
01:02:26All right, thank you.
01:02:29You, uh...
01:02:31You haven't heard anything, have you, sir?
01:02:33No.
01:02:35I mean, after what you said, I couldn't help but, uh...
01:02:39Well, it was the truth.
01:02:41That's what I'm trying to say.
01:02:42I'm trying to sign nearly everything you said.
01:02:44I couldn't ever have said it. You know what I mean, sir?
01:02:47It was my duty to say it.
01:02:49I don't know about that, sir.
01:02:51It was my duty.
01:02:53If you'd remembered your duty,
01:02:54none of this idiotic rigmarole would have been necessary.
01:02:58How did you get that into your head?
01:03:01Don't thank me for doing my duty.
01:03:04I had to.
01:03:08Just as you should have done yours.
01:03:13Yes, sir.
01:03:25It's not as if I haven't thought about it, sir.
01:03:27I have.
01:03:29I know what they could do to me.
01:03:32It's just that, sir,
01:03:35I wouldn't be thinking I stood a chance
01:03:37if it hadn't been for you.
01:03:43Prisoner, shoot!
01:03:47With your permission, sir.
01:03:50Yes.
01:03:52Private Hamp, AJ,
01:03:55number 873426.
01:03:58It is my duty to inform you
01:04:00that the general officer commanding-in-chief
01:04:02has confirmed the sentence
01:04:04passed on you by the field general court-martial.
01:04:09You will suffer death by shooting
01:04:11on Thursday, October the 22nd at 0530 hours.
01:04:30When's that, sir?
01:04:36Tomorrow.
01:04:40All right.
01:05:10Good-bye, sir.
01:05:40Good-bye, sir.
01:06:11More wine, Miss Lee?
01:06:13No, thank you, sir.
01:06:15Would you excuse me now, sir?
01:06:17Yes, of course.
01:06:18Thank you, sir.
01:06:41There's some hake over there.
01:07:01Pure chlorine.
01:07:04I'll pick one, sir.
01:07:33Another short-arm ceremony, aren't we?
01:07:35Yes, sir.
01:07:38I had too much of that today.
01:07:42You know the verdict?
01:07:46Just now.
01:07:49You've lost.
01:07:58We all lost.
01:08:00We're bloody murderers.
01:08:02Don't be idiotic, Charles.
01:08:04Pull yourself together.
01:08:06Pull yourself together, pull yourself together.
01:08:09That's what they said to him today.
01:08:11Pull yourself together.
01:08:12You're talking like the bloody doctor.
01:08:15Aren't we rather overstepping your line?
01:08:18All right, all right.
01:08:22I'm sorry.
01:08:24I'm sorry.
01:08:26I'm sorry.
01:08:27I'm sorry.
01:08:41But why?
01:08:46Actually, why?
01:08:48Why?
01:08:51Was it O'Sullivan's evidence?
01:08:53He's an idiot.
01:08:57Was it my offence?
01:09:01I did my best.
01:09:04Very eloquent, Charles.
01:09:06But nothing to do with the facts.
01:09:08Facts, facts, facts.
01:09:10Don't shoot that poor little bastard simply because he went for a walk.
01:09:14That's what it was, you know.
01:09:17It was a technical desertion, but it's just a...
01:09:21A bloody little walk, really.
01:09:24And you know it.
01:09:28Don't you?
01:09:30These facts.
01:09:33Your battalion moving up tomorrow.
01:09:35Important to maintain morale.
01:09:37Sentence of death to be carried out immediately.
01:09:42Oh, my God.
01:09:48Go on, Corey, share those out, will you?
01:09:53Has it ever encouraged you to do that?
01:09:56Has it ever encouraged anyone?
01:09:58Discouraged anyone?
01:10:00Of course it has.
01:10:05You sure?
01:10:09No, not quite.
01:10:26Who's in charge tomorrow?
01:10:29Jack Webb.
01:10:31His man, his platoon, his mistake.
01:10:33Teach him a lesson.
01:10:35By the way, I've written an extra kin letter.
01:10:38Would you mind giving it to Webb as you go out?
01:11:06There's a porpoise crest behind me.
01:11:12And it's treading on my tail.
01:11:17Facts.
01:11:19When I'm buried and all my thoughts and acts
01:11:22will be reduced to lists of dates and facts,
01:11:25and long before this wandering flesh is rotten,
01:11:28the dates which made me will be all forgotten.
01:11:49Amp!
01:11:53Amp!
01:11:57Is that you, Cole?
01:11:58Aye.
01:11:59Now, listen, Amp.
01:12:01Wilson and your lot,
01:12:03they've been nicking some room.
01:12:06Aye.
01:12:07We've got some other good stuff, you know, mate.
01:12:10Thinking about the booze up tonight, you know.
01:12:13Well, I'm going to go and get it.
01:12:15I'm going to get the booze up tonight, you know.
01:12:18Well, I thought you were bringing it.
01:12:19No.
01:12:20Well, where's the rest of them?
01:12:21Come in.
01:12:23You get into trouble?
01:12:24Nah.
01:12:25Go with a man.
01:12:27All right.
01:12:28All right.
01:12:29Come on.
01:12:32Shut the door.
01:12:41What's this for, then?
01:12:42Somebody's birthday?
01:12:45Shh.
01:12:46Shh.
01:13:15Come on.
01:13:34Is he very religious?
01:13:36I don't think so.
01:13:38Official C of E, but...
01:13:40You'll be staying with him right through the night?
01:13:42Of course, if he's willing.
01:13:43Yes, well, I've laid on something
01:13:45which might prove just as useful.
01:13:48How does the idea strike you?
01:13:51It's not for me to say.
01:13:53Well, I've spoken to the C.O.
01:13:55It's left to his discretion, and he's left it to me.
01:14:05So...
01:14:07So...
01:14:08He said...
01:14:09He said,
01:14:10He said,
01:14:11He said,
01:14:12That man in bed with my wife
01:14:15was me.
01:14:20Was me.
01:14:33There is no disgrace.
01:14:36No disgrace at all.
01:14:38You today, gone tomorrow.
01:14:41Well, it doesn't matter who kills you, does it?
01:14:45Well, you know, you...
01:14:47You've lived a long life, and...
01:14:49And you do.
01:14:52You rot in the mud, and that's that.
01:14:56Doesn't matter what anyone bloody well thinks about it, does it?
01:15:00Hey.
01:15:02We're all moving up soon.
01:15:04Hmm?
01:15:05We'll be in the same boat as you are.
01:15:09We'll all be rightful before long.
01:15:16That's a tricky bottle.
01:15:19Who's gonna get it?
01:15:24You'd think I was entitled to it.
01:15:36Oh, God.
01:15:37Oh, no.
01:15:38What's that?
01:15:39Oh, hey, wait.
01:15:40Hey.
01:15:43Aim for her.
01:15:44Aim for the bow.
01:15:45Aim for the pike.
01:15:46Aim for the miss.
01:15:47Aim for the moon.
01:15:48Aim for the cock.
01:15:49Fire!
01:15:53Oh, come on.
01:15:54Come on, come on.
01:15:55Come on.
01:15:56Come on.
01:15:57Come on.
01:15:58Come on.
01:15:59Come on.
01:16:00Come on.
01:16:01Come on.
01:16:02Come on.
01:16:03Come on, Carl.
01:16:04Come on.
01:16:05All right, cool.
01:16:06Okay, cool.
01:16:07Carl.
01:16:08Come on.
01:16:09Cool.
01:16:10Come on.
01:16:11Ooh.
01:16:12Yes, ma'am.
01:16:13Is somebody there?
01:16:14Yes, ma'am.
01:16:15Yes, ma'am.
01:16:21Look out, the Padre.
01:16:22Yes, sir.
01:16:25Come on.
01:16:34Come on.
01:16:43Give me the...
01:16:44Get out of here.
01:16:53Here, have a look.
01:17:04Where are you, you bastards?
01:17:10Come on.
01:17:11Come on.
01:17:12Come on.
01:17:34Will you let me try to help you?
01:17:38Do you want to talk to me?
01:17:42God decides when it's our turn to be taken to Him.
01:17:48Will you be absolved of your sins?
01:17:52My sins?
01:17:54My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord,
01:17:58nor faint when thou are tribute to Him.
01:18:01For whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth,
01:18:04and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.
01:18:08Our Lord Jesus Christ, who has left power to His church
01:18:12to absolve all sinners who truly repent and believe in Him
01:18:15of His great mercy, forgives thee thine offenses.
01:18:19And by His authority committed to me,
01:18:22I absolve thee from all thy sins.
01:18:25In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
01:18:29and of the Holy Ghost.
01:18:34We do not presume to come to this thy table, O merciful Lord,
01:18:38trusting in our own righteousness,
01:18:40but in thy manifold and great mercies.
01:18:43We are not worthy so much as to gather the crumbs
01:18:46from under thy table.
01:18:48But thou art the same Lord
01:18:50whose property is always to have mercy.
01:18:53Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord,
01:18:56so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son, Jesus Christ,
01:18:59and to drink His blood,
01:19:01that our sinful bodies may be made clean by His body,
01:19:05and our souls washed through His most precious blood,
01:19:09and that we may evermore dwell in Him and He in us.
01:19:14Amen.
01:19:16The body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given for thee.
01:19:38The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ,
01:19:41which was given for thee.
01:19:45The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for thee.
01:19:49Preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life.
01:20:15The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for thee.
01:20:41Where's the saddle, Pasa?
01:20:44Here.
01:20:47All that's here is a few hours of bloody nothing.
01:21:14Oh, my God.
01:21:44Oh, my God.
01:22:06Oh, this ground.
01:22:09Oh, we'll grow.
01:22:12Oh, we'll grow no more buttercups.
01:22:17Oh.
01:22:39Quick march.
01:22:40Left, right.
01:22:41Left, right.
01:22:42Left, right.
01:22:43Left, right.
01:22:44Left, right.
01:22:45Left, right.
01:22:46Left, right.
01:22:47Left.
01:22:48I'll cover you.
01:22:54Order, halt.
01:22:56Left turn.
01:22:59Make it up.
01:23:00Make it up.
01:23:02Left turn.
01:23:04Make it up.
01:23:05Make it up.
01:23:25Hey, guard.
01:23:27Halt.
01:23:28Left, right.
01:23:29Left, right.
01:23:30Left.
01:23:31Make it up.
01:23:32Make it up.
01:23:49Squad.
