Mike take your thumb out of your mouth boy. Do you know something wilson i'd give everything I possess to have a go at the enemy I feel so helpless. Our lads are out there bowling jenny for six, and here we are stuck in the pavilion.
Yes, I know what you mean, sir: hey roy lay right leg boy play rocky up. What did you say? I said his job. I said it's all quiet so when I say all quiet, i'm not referring to the noise.
If you understand so Because you don't often get quite noise, do you say he said I can't remember. Having heard any, then, of course it might have been so quiet that I missed it anyway, they all quite I was referring to his official military procedure in my meaning, quite clear to you, sir, or would you like me to elaborate heaven forbid what they're all fools Trying to tell you money is that we didn't support any nazi parachutists. Thank you.
You and friends are going to have a rest in the corner right right, number, two patrol at the double go and have a rest in the corner. So, if you ask me, I think that's the best place for him. Well, you may well scoff wilson, but that man has spirit.
You can see the light of battle in his eye. It's exhilarating! Oh yeah! Yes, yes, it is awfully good. I wouldn't mind seeing the Light of battle in your eyes.
Oh, that is, if you could keep them open long enough. Sorry, what's the matter with you, didn't you get any sleep last night? Well, I i didn't have time to get home, but I i I managed to snatch a couple of hours of mrs pikes. We've been going at it pretty hard lately really yeah, I mean working at the bank All day, see they're not on duty.
Most of the nights boy see he does rather take it out of you. Look wilson, i'm just as tired as you are, but I don't go around with a dozy look at my face as an officer, I have to set an example to my men and you, as my sergeant, should do the same. Brighten up i'll, dress him and clap, though now what is your friend? Would you like some of my sweets? Oh they're lovely? Yes, what are they hundreds and thousands there you are.
Would you like some hundreds and thousands captain mandarine? Thank you, pike, no trying to give them up, i'm afraid I don't have a very sweet tooth. Never then you are awfully bright. Sir.
Aren't you? You can't have everything? Look it's uh! It's so 2, 30. time for you and prank to go out on patrol. Come on get ready all right very well come on closet.
I always get my sweet russians in hundreds and thousands. They weigh light and you get lots more for your coupons come wondering. If you ask me, it will be sheer folly for anybody to go out there, while all this is going on cheerfully that shirat was Coming down like hill man.
What do you said? Yes, then fraser will be crouching, this funk hole for the rest of the night. I want to get out there and get to grips with the enemy they're rather high up in the sky. For that sir mandarin, yours is the sort of talk i'd like to hear you remind me of a major we had in the trenches in 1916.
. He wasn't a skulky man either sir. In fact he couldn't abide Corruption and skulking.
He was just like you. Oh he was a wonderful man. Really, oh, yes, his name was major willoughby darcy.
Anyway, one day he was all crouching in the bottom of the trench and after we've been crouching for about an hour. He said to us boys. I've had enough of this.
I'm going up on that parapet and i'm gon na walk about just to show those damn jerry's that we are not afraid. Also, he climbed on top of The parapet, yeah just a minute. I I know what you're going to say: jon walked about and didn't get a stretch.
No, she got shot. He got shot in rather than convenient place, so he had to do a lot of crouching. After that, lord look.
What the wind blew in hello. What are you like doing in here? Shouldn't you be out looking for parachutes just clear off with you? Yes remind your own business? No, don't you Start napoleon hey? Why aren't you out a rpm? If you must know i've been out arp in all night, i've done my job mate. We've had two bombs tonight already.
You know the last one was pretty big, but it only landed in the woods. Thank god. Where did the first one land? Oh, that was only a small one.
It hit the pumping station, it's all right. There was no one in it, no one in it. Two of my men, godfrey and walker, are on Duty there.
