00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,557
You awake?
7
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,553
Pity Flanagan's
such a restless sleeper.
8
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,750
What's that writing up there mean,
mate?
9
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,836
40 men or 8 horses.
10
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,075
The French certainly care about
their horses, eh?
11
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Go easy, will you, mate?
12
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,431
Thinks he's a bloody conductor.
13
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:38,400
What's the book?
14
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,240
'Such Is Life' by Tom Collins.
15
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,160
That's one of my favourite books!
16
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,230
You one of the fair dinkums?
17
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,480
You know, anybody who joined up
after the mess at Gallipoli
18
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,960
had to be fair dinkum.
19
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,440
Oh, I see.
20
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,192
Roly Collins.
21
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,120
Wilhelm Schmidt.
Pleased to meet you.
22
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,920
Jesus! Did you hear that?
We've got a bloody Hun here.
23
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,280
Ha! Wilhelm Schmidt. How'd ya be?
24
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,800
A bloke travels 12,000 miles
to fight the bludgers,
25
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,760
and there's one right here with us.
26
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,240
Schmidt the spy.
27
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,960
This bloke's a fair dinkum –
a volunteer like every one of us.
28
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,760
Don't give me that,
he's gettin' a train ride home.
29
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,400
Hey!
Get off me bloody hand, you mug!
30
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,868
Why don't you stand up
and say that, soldier?
31
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,800
OK. Don't get off your bike.
Having a bit of fun, that's all.
32
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,358
Keep your mouth shut, then.
33
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,674
OK.
34
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,280
What's your name?
Dinny Gordon.
35
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,240
«Dingo' would suit him better.
36
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,280
(Others chuckle)
(Sarcastically) Ha ha ha ha.
37
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,720
He looks like a dingo too.
38
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,120
Welcome aboard, mate.
Name's Flanagan.
39
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,553
Pleased to meet you.
40
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,360
A good man.
Is he one of the originals?
41
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,840
Yeah.
42
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Well, not really.
43
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,920
He joined us
as a reinforcement at Gallipoli.
44
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280
How many originals are there?
45
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,236
Only six out of 40.
46
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,680
Martin Barrington, the corporal –
47
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,200
well, he should be an officer,
but he won't.
48
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200
I don't know why.
49
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,560
Bill Harris... he's a Pom,
50
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,755
and a bit of a mystery.
51
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,760
And that's Pat Cleary.
52
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,160
He's bulletproof.
53
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,640
How do you mean?
54
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,240
Well, he's got so many wads of money
on him, it's like armour.
55
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,440
Oh, and there's Sergeant McArthur
and Mr Armstrong,
56
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,960
except they're travelling
first-class.
57
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,439
And there's me.
58
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,640
You were wounded twice, Roly?
59
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,108
Most of us
got in the way of something.
60
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,510
Wilhelm, with your name and all...
61
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:54,273
Well, what I mean is...
62
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,076
...you must've thought hard
about joining up.
63
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,795
My father,
who brought us out from Germany...
64
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:05,400
...he always taught us
that freedom has its price.
65
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,080
Tell you what, this looks like
a fine country to be fighting for.
66
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,520
(TRAIN WHISTLE TOOTS)
Sure beats Egypt.
67
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,750
Oh, it's a beautiful country.
Mmm.

00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,195
(All laugh)
MAN: What are you talkin' about?
71
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,480
Are they laughing
at you or it, mate?
72
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Whoo-hoo!
73
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,000
White sheilas!
74
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,480
What's your name, mate?
75
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,440
Pudden, they call me.
76
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,240
Pudden from Patchewollock.
77
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Patchewollock?
78
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,240
Well, Pudden, if you've gotta go,
you've gotta go, mate.
79
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,160
'Wilhelm'?!
We can't keep calling you Wilhelm.
80
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,400
Yeah, it's the same name
as the Kaiser.
81
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,197
That's what we'll call him. Kaiser.
82
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,480
ENGLISHMAN: Bayonet!
18 inches of cold steel.
83
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,520
That would've drawn
every sniper on Gallipoli.
84
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,953
Bayonet...
85
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,434
...weapon of the assault.
86
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:32,320
The spirit of the bayonet
must be inculcated through all ranks
87
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,995
so they go forward
with aggressive determination.
88
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,720
Sergeant, put on the killing face.
89
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,640
On guard!
90
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,120
(Others chuckle)
91
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,240
Stone the crows! That's the face
that killed his mother-in-law.
92
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,550
One more remark like that
and you're up on a charge.
93
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,913
That man...
94
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,392
...stand out here by the bayonet
dummy so I can keep an eye on you.
95
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,990
We have been warned
about you Australians.
96
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,917
Absolutely no discipline!
97
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,640
Well, let me tell you,
98
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,552
you're not fighting the Turks now.
99
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,875
This isn't the Bashi-Bazouks.
100
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,194
It's a real war
against a first-class enemy.
101
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,918
But the Hun can't stand cold steel.
102
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,749
Sergeant... final demonstration.
103
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,239
(Shouts threateningly)
104
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,470
(Others laugh)
(Continues shouting)
105
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,750
(Others mock) Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.
106
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,712
Platoon... left turn!
107
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,832
Stand at ease!
108
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,192
Stand easy.
109
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,715
Been at the bayonet demonstration,
have you?
110
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,800
Might've been useful at Waterloo.
111
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,600
Up the line, they mostly get used
for opening jam tins.
112
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,910
Let's have a look at the real queen
of the modern battlefield.
113
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,833
Number one, load.
114
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,160
Number two, load.
115
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,320
Number one ready, sir!
116
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,471
Number one, fire!
(MACHINE GUN RATTLES LOUDLY)
117
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,000
That, gentlemen,
is why there's a continuous trench
118
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,960
from the North Sea
to the Swiss border.
119
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,200
As long as
the machine gun's intact,
120
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,360
neither side can cross no-man's-land.
121
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,760
Our enemy, the German army,
122
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,160
is extremely skilful in their use of it.
123
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,438
Their gunners are hand-picked,
and they use them like this.
124
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,120
Crossfire.
125
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,112
The entire front
is crisscrossed like that.
126
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,200
What's the answer, then, sir?
127
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,873
Guns... bombs...
128
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,473
Bravery, perhaps.
129
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,912
There isn't a real answer.
130
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,911
Not yet.

Freeze.
136
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,350
Not the usual fireworks display.
137
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Didn't look like this in the brochure.
138
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,160
I played footy
on a ground like this once.
139
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,880
Very good for the small men.
140
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,440
Yeah, the big man's buggered
in the wet.
141
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,792
MCARTHUR: Move forward.
142
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,360
The nursery sector, Mr Armstrong.
143
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,512
After you lads have settled in,
the brass hats will find a job for you.
144
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,633
See you later, chum.
145
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,717
Barrington, move some of your men
into the next bay.
146
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,834
MARTIN: Bill, Roly, Pat,
Upton, Bluey, follow me.
147

How are we gonna go in this?
148
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,320
I don't know.
149
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,520
Not a gang of Abduls flooding in,
150
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,480
bloody German army out there.
151
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,000
They can't be any better
than old Johnny Turk.
152
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,840
Course they bloody are.
153
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,640
This line hasn't advanced
in a year and a half.
154
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,712
Armies from all over the world
against them, they're still there.
155
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,115
How the hell are we gonna shoot them?
156
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,233
Come and have a brew.
157
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,915

and come up here.

00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,113
Mrs Baker?
160
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,913
May I sit down?
161
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,080
I hope you don't mind
my intruding like this.
162
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,000
It's just that no-one at Tolangerook
has seen you these last few months.
163
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,480
I thought, perhaps...
164
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,560
Thought you could play
the lady bountiful.
165
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:15,000
Mrs Baker, that's not at all...
166
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,840
I've had all the connection I want
with the Barringtons.
167
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,116
First I lose me husband with them,
and then me boy.

You disgraceful woman.
172
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,358
You know Martin would have done
anything for Dick. Anything.
173
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,840
And where do you think Martin is now?
174
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,196
In some safe place behind the line?
175
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,273
No.
176
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,560

00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,680
I know what it feels like.
179
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:59,035
Hoping against hope.
180
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,038
I'll put the kettle on.
181
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,557
Actually...
182
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,280
...I came to ask a favour.
183
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Of me?
184
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,240
Yes.
185
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,480
You see, with all the men at war
186
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,720
and some of the girls
working in munitions,
187
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,960
we're desperately short of help
at the house.
188
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,440
I was wondering...
189
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,680
Wouldn't want to live
up there no more.
190
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,113
That wouldn't be necessary.
191
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,640
Oh...
192
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,840
Well... would, em...
193
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,308
...Mondays to Fridays be OK?
194
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,429
I'm... l'm going to enjoy
this cup of tea.
195
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,080
(Men sing) Goodbye, Piccadilly
196
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,000
Farewell, Leicester Square
197
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,560
It's a long, long way
to Tipperary
198
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,030
But my heart's right there.
199
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,360
Dingo Gordon, 40 francs.
200
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,840
Cleary, me old mate, I'm flat broke.
201
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,990
You're always flat broke,
aren't you, Dingo?
202
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,280
That's 10 francs. All you've gotta do
is find another 30.
203
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,760
Where will I steal that, mate?
You'll manage.
204
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,035
15 francs.
Bill.
205
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,240
Shylock.
Shylock?
206
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,080
Just a hardworking bookmaker, mate.
207
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,360
Anyway, Shylock charged interest.
208
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,720
He's right, Bill.
209
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,400
Is he, Pudden?
210
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,992
And who was Shylock?
211
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,080
The bloke Pat told me about.
212
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Officer material, Pat?
213
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,600
Born leader of men, Bill.
214
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,080
Morrissey!
215
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,920
Oh. Didn't see you there, Pat.
216
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,400
Bad luck, was it, eh?
217
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,880
Yeah.
Yeah.
218
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,598
35 francs.
219
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,153
Better luck next time.
220
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Hey, Bill...
221
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,753
Got a minute, mate?
222
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,720
Listen, I've got a bit of a job on
later tonight.
223
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,320
Wondered if you could give me a hand.
I would if I could.
224
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,960
But I'm on a carrying party at 0300,
carrying 2 tons of barbwire,
225
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,200
ammunition, duckboards
and orders of the bleeding day
226
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,680
up into the line.
227
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,600
Listen, I'll help you with that
if you help me with my little job.
228
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,280
Ah. Wouldn't be against
King's regulations, would it?
229
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,760
Ah! Heaven forbid.
230
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,440
Special orders from General Haig, mate.
231
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,520
Could shorten the war by months.
232
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,760
Matter of fact, the high command
specifically requested
233
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,560
that I have at least one Pom on the job.
234
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,240
In that case...
235
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,958
Pudden, Upton.
236
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,960
Thanks for the bloody company.
237
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,200
There you go, boys. Have one on me.
238
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,270
(Laughs)
239
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400
So, there.
Absolute vigilance, do you hear?
240
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,800
This consignment of whiskey
is for general headquarters.
241
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,560
Every case must be accounted for,
242
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,640
particularly as there are Australians
in the area.
243
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,120
Carry on, Corporal.
244
00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:11,840
Sir, good as done, sir!
245
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,274
Right, lads, move it!
Prepare to begin.
246
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Stop! Look! There's one of them.
247
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,552
Arrest him.
248
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,480
Hang on, fair go.
249
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,560
We were ordered here
to pick up the padre's altar wine.
250
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,993
A likely story.
251
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,080
He's right, sir. It's all in order.
252
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,040
Well, there's no wine here,
so clear off!
253
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Clear off? If there's no service
tomorrow, there'll be hell to pay.
254
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,520
The padre would wanna know...
Get out!
255
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,560
We were gonna be altar boys.
Go!
256
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:50,993
Our first mass.
257
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,632
Carry on, Corporal.
258
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,160

Right, left. Right...
260
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,109
Detail... halt!
261
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,230
Detail wheel advance, right turn!
262

263
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,360
extra security detachment
from Railyard HQ, sir!
264
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:31,800
We have been informed
there are Australians in the area.
265
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,313
Quite.
266
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,360
You're a bally disgrace!
267
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,680
Do up that top button!
What unit are you from?
268
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,160
You horrible wee man!
269
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,153
How dare you speak to an officer
without permission?!
270
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,080
203rd Light Rail Company, sir.
You can't pick and choose these days.
271
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,560
Absolutely right.
272
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,040
With your permission, sir,
273
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,840
I'll post these two
at the door of the rail
274
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,360
and I, myself, with Jones there
will take post at the lorry.
275
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:13,200
They'll personally count
every item in there.
276
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,633
(Shouts) Detail, move!
277
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:18,640
One!
278
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,000
Er... begin!
Have the men count loudly.

21... 22...

Stop!
23...
288
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,273
Stop!
289
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,753
How many did you say?
290
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,480
16, sir... I think.
291
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,913
16?
292
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:51,872
I'll stay here now.
293
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,108
Ready, and I want to hear
the count loudly.

there's another 25 to come off yet.
320
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,160
Beggin' your pardon, sir,
but there's only two left.

What?!
322
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,273
We've been robbed!
323
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,560
Aye, sir.
There's the man responsible.
324
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,074
I'll nab him.
Security detachment, follow me!
325
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,269
Come back, young man. Come back!
326
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,080
You're under arrest!
327
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,000
One... two... three... four...
328
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,760
Five.
Yes, thank you, Corporal.
329
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,240

Ma belle France. That'll do me.

(French accent) Pardon?
France.
335
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,640
More opportunities here
336
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,680
for an enterprising businessman
such as meself.
337
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,200
Found Gallipoli
a bit restricting in that way.
338
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,000
You do not expect me
to keep this loot here?!
339
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,760
Loot? Oh, no, we're just minding it
for General Haig.
340
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,955
See, it's got his name
on the bottle.
341
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,800
(Scoffs) How you say? Bull!
342
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,760
Oh, just for a while, anyway.
343
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,160
Anyway, you're gonna have to...
mind it
344
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,400
until we get the marketing operation
under way.
345
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,720
No. Why should I have the risk?
346
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,358
'Cause half of it is yours.
347
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,200
Why you do this?
348
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,440
Oh, I don't know. Can't help myself.
349
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,120
Generosity runs in the family.
350
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:10,317
Besides, it'll mark the beginning
of our, ah... partnership.
351
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:12,960
Partnership?
352
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,480
There's a lot more stuff like this
out there
353
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,233

00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,758
No worries.
357
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,840
ARMSTRONG: All present, Sergeant?
Sir.
358
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,320
PAT: Yeah, all here –
359
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,280
Dead-Eye Dick,
Mexican Pete, and Sambo.
360
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,760
Shut up, Cleary.
361
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,360
Right, I'll run through the details
of this trench raid one last time.
362
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:41,280
But firstly I want to say
363
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,480
that brigade staff are terribly keen
about this stunt.
364
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,440
Maybe they should do it instead.
365
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,680
So all eyes will be
on our performance.
366
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,240
I want every man to give of his best.
367
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,960
Our aim is to gather information
on the German unit opposite us.
368
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,440
Ideally, we would like a prisoner.
369
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,352
If not, documents
or unit identifications.
370
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,920
The search party will be led by me.
371
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,831
Corporal Barrington
will be second-in-command.
372
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,917
The covering party will be in
the command of Sergeant McArthur.
373
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:16,908
I want you in and out
of those trenches in five minutes.
374
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:21,480
The box barrage
will begin at 0300 hours.
375
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,072
Any questions?
376
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:27,317
(EXPLOSION)
377
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,073
Now it's time to move.
378
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:32,800
Good luck.
379
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,600
(Upton sings) Oh, the Camptown
ladies sing this song
380
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,080
Do-da, Do-da
381
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,040
Camptown racetrack's
5 miles long...
382
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,350
PAT: That's a good idea, Upton.
Sing, let 'em know we're coming.
383
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,311
Don't fiddle with that revolver,
Pudden.
384
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,000
Ah, »trench raid' –
385
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,640
is that a staff name for keeping
the troops on their toes, sir?
386
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,108
Well, they have to put something
in the communiques.
387
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,680
Martin, when are you gonna apply
for a commission?
388
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,160
You sound like my father.
389
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,640
You know you should.
390
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,680
Ah, no.
I'm happy here... with my mates.
391
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,717
Mates can be one burden too many
in this war.
392
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,671
(Clears throat)
Ah, how's the time, sir?
393
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,113
It's time.
394
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,200
ROLY: It was a harsh introduction
395
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,000
to the way things were done
on the Western Front.
396
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,040
None of us were happy about it,
but nobody said anything.
397
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,960
We'd learnt that
the front-line soldier
398
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,837
didn't get much say in his fate.
399
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,550
Mr Armstrong was outed
by a drop short before it even began.
400
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,920
Trench raids were hated by everybody.
401
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,600
At worst they caused casualties,
402
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,720
and at best it goaded old Fritz
into a bloody retaliation.
403
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,840
All for the dubious advantage
of identifying some German unit
404
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,120
that might not
even be there next week.
405
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:57,953
This one was attended
by the usual confusion.
406
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,193
Upton!
407
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,080
FLANAGAN: Check there.
408
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,760
Even with all the chaos,
409
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,880
thanks to Pudden
we did manage to get a prisoner.
410
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,400
Pat? Well, he was pleased to pick up
his first valuable souvenir.
411
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,277
Jackpot.
412
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,993
Cleary!
413
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:31,800
Where are they others?
Down further.
414
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,280
Get them out. Quick.
415
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,760
How's Morrissey?
416
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,193
Dunno, mate.
417
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,680
Come on, men!
418
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,040
MARTIN: Better get Cleary.
419
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,840
I don't remember seeing Sergeant
McArthur in the enemy trenches,
420
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,120
but then it was all like a blur.
421
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:48,600
MARTIN: Come on. Move it.
422
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,720
Martin and Flanagan seemed to know
more than they were saying.
423
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,235
And anyway, we were just glad
to survive another trench raid.
424
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,437
Besides, everyone has his bad days
now and again.
425
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,431
Harry? Harry?
426
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,120
Macca?
427
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:15,315
Macca? Macca?
428
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,638
Come on. You're alright. Come on.
429
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,400
Come on. Get up.
430
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,080
Come on.
431
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,560
Come on.
432
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,993
Come on.
433
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:32,599
Alright. Off you go.
434
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,720
I got these from young Barrington.
Magnificent.
435
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,960
(EXPLOSION)
Hell's bells.
436
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,600
Congratulations, Armstrong.
A prisoner too.
437
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,000
Don't thank me, Captain.
I was knocked out by a drop short.
438
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,440
Sergeant McArthur here took over,
then carried me out under fire.
439
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,910
Tremendous. Wait till the Colonel
hears about this.
440
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,800
ARMSTRONG: Stand fast.
441
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,358
As you were, lads.
442
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,480
I have just had word from Brigade.
443
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,880
Our raid was one of the most
successful and fruitful operations
444
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,360
of its type they've seen.
445
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,955
Jesus!
What were the others like, then?
446
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,000
You have all acquitted yourself
with very great distinction
447
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,595
and I am very proud
to be able to serve with you.
448
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,080
In particular, I'd like to single out
Sergeant McArthur...
449
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,231
...for his initiative
in taking command.
450
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
And for also saving my life.
451
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,878
He has been awarded
the military medal.
452
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,392
Drinks are on the Sergeant.
453
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,233
FLANAGAN: Good form, mate.
454
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,840
It's good rough shooting country
round here.
455
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,400
The King could be interested.
456
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,480
What's in the diary today, Kiggell?
457
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,800
Oh, there's that long cable
from Marshal Joffre
458
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,760
asking for details
on the Somme Offensive.
459
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,240
He wants an early start.
460
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,720
Tiresome man!
461
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,960
When we no longer
have to pull chestnuts
462
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,920
out of the fire for the frogs,
463
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,720
perhaps we can fight
on ground of our own choosing.
464
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,200
Next year.
465
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,680
Anything else?
466
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,960
A Mr Murdoch this
afternoon.
Who's he again?
467
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,640
An Australian newspaper man.
He's some...
468
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,000
An Australian and a newspaper man.
That's doubly unfortunate.
469
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,680
He's some sort of
informal representative
470
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,160
of the Australian Prime Minister.
471
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,800
I really don't need to be reminded
that the Australians are in France.
472
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,320
There's been reports of thefts,
disorder in back alleys.
473
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,560
It's South Africa all over again!
South Africa?
474
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,120
Yes, the colonial hooligans.
475
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,200
We were gonna pack off home, then.
And did you, sir?
476
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,160
They were useful
against the Boer command.
477
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,480
The same sort of ragamuffin mentality.
478
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,155
We shot a couple, as I remember.
Yes. So we
did.
479
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,480
Probably have to do the same again.
I'm afraid not, sir.
480
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,960
After that affair,
481
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,474
the Australians abolished
the death penalty in their army.
482
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,795
The devil they did!
483
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,680
Oh, we'll have to change that.
484
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,640
Make a note that I raise the matter
with this Murdoch fellow.
485
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,120
Right, sir.
486
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,720
If not, Kiggell, we must blood 'em
as soon as possible.
487
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,029
Somme should be ideal.
488
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,079
Quieten 'em down.

Oh, not quite all.

Oh, just showing off in front of
an ignorant country girl.
495
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,560
I like showing off in front of you.
I always have.

all the time.

Remember the time
you fell out of the red gum?
498
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,520
Just because I said
you couldn't reach the top.
499
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,715
Yeah, I did reach the top, though.

Pleased to meet you, sister.
541

I wouldn't mind saluting one bit.

Won't we, Pat?
Ah, yeah.

00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,113

558
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,960
I wondered where I'd heard your name.
559

You were the man mixed up
with that Gallipoli report.
560
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,840
I thought it my duty to forward
a responsible opinion, General.

to that abominable sideshow.

The war must be fought
here in France.
565
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,280
This is where the German Army
566
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,680
must be brought to battle
and bled white.

to result in a newspaper article.

00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,040
No, sir.
572
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,560
My Prime Minister asked me
573
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,480
to call and express
his admiration and best wishes
574
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,400
in the onerous responsibilities
you have before you.

Anything else?
577
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,760
He did ask me to raise with you
578
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,600
the possibility
of all five Australian divisions
579
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,440
being grouped together
under their own command.
580
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,715
Like the Canadians.
581
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,640
Out of the question.
582
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,120
I will not have my hands tied
as to where I can dispose them.
583
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,360
It is a matter which both the Prime
Minister and the Australian public
584
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,840
feel very keenly about.
585
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,760
But I remind you, Mr Murdoch,
that you are a small country.
586
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,400
And your army is less than 10%
of the British forces in France.
587
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,080
A not insignificant force,
I hope.
588
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,560
We shall see.
589
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,395
They have as yet to prove themselves
against a first-class enemy.
590
00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,440
Meanwhile, it grieves me to say
591
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,120
they are creating
legal and disciplinary problems
592
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,560
out of all proportion
to their numbers.
593
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,360
Perhaps under their own command...
594
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,000
And furthermore...
595
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,760
...l'd like you to convey to your
prime minister in the strongest terms
596
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,640
the urgent need
to reintroduce the death penalty.
597
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,320
The Australian people
would never again
598
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,630
hand the power of life and death
to a British court martial.
599
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,960
The maintenance of discipline
600
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,200
must take precedence
over national feeling.
601
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,080
Agreed, if that's what's at stake.
602
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,080
But our men are all volunteers.
603
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,036
The kind more easily led
than driven.
604
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,036
A dubious distinction.
605
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,920
I don't see how volunteerism
can replace the normal wastage,
606
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,080
let alone losses, in a major battle.

may soon be a thing of the past.

of this war.

I will put 20 British divisions
against the German line
612
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:33,040
and, God willing, we will break
through and set the cavalry loose.

704
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,630
Sir, we can't stay here.
We'd be better running along the top.
705
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,399
Sir, we'll be slaughtered
if we stay here!
706
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,760
Everyone, out along the top!!
707
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,240
Over the top!
708
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:19,710
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
709
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,800
Where the bloody hell are we?
Who knows?
710
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,600
Is this the jump-off trench?
711
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,600
When I find out I'll tell you.
712
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,400
This is the battle
that's gonna win the bloody war.
713
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,360
Mate, I'm gonna take a look around.
714
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,555
Runner coming in.
715
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:53,240
Any new orders?
I'm looking for the 4th Battalion.
716
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:55,200
They're down that way somewhere,
I think.
717
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:56,680
Sir.

(EXPLOSION)
719
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,640
We're taking casualties
just sitting here, Mr Armstrong.
720
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,320
There's another man buried here!
721
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:03,800
I said we're taking casualties!
722
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,600
If we stay here,
you won't have a platoon left.
723
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,240
We're not going stumbling around
till I get clear orders from Battalion.
724
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:12,356
Now get back to your post!
725
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,800
Ah, Max, my boy.
726
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,280
Still delving amongst
the dusty tomes, I see.
727
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,280
It's my job, Father.
So it is.
728
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,760
So it is.
729
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:35,760
But have you read what's happening
outside these walls?
730
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,520
These are stirring times, Max.
731
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,840
Great deeds to perform.
Accolades to be won.
732
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,400
Reputations can be earned
733
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,120
which will carry a man far
in the postwar world.
734
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,800
Ah, I wish to God I was young enough
735
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,040
to be with the brave men
at the front.
736
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,040
I thought you were offered a post
in France.
737
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,000
Yes, well... (Clears throat)
738
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,720
It was decided at cabinet level
739
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:08,000
that my value here recruiting
was to take first priority,
740
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,629
recruiting fine young men
like yourself.
741
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,240
Are you saying
that I should join up, Father?
742
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:20,720
I'm merely suggesting the advantages
743
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:23,600
which might accrue to yourself
and your family –
744
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:28,240
to be part of this great crusade
before it is too late.
745
00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:31,720
We Earnshaws have a reputation
to maintain.
746
00:46:31,720 --> 00:46:33,400
WOMAN: Shh.
What, what?
747
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,120
I... thought about it, Father.
748
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,720
But honestly,
I'd just get in the way.
749
00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:41,080
(Laughs) Oh, come, come, Max.
750
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,868
Overmodesty was always
an Earnshaw family fault.
751
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,320
I was never any good
at sport at school,
752
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,280
and I get lost more than 100 yards
from where the street lights end.
753
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,240
I can't see myself being a soldier.
754
00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:58,480
Who said anything
about you being a soldier?
755
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,440
I'm talking about you
being an officer.
756
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,480
Think... think what it
would look like.
757
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:07,400
Earnshaw – father and son,
for the war efforts.
758
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,880
WOMAN: Shh!
What?
759
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,360
I'll think about it, Father.
760
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:11,960
You won't regret it.
761
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,680
You'll be serving the mother country
and Australia.
762
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,797
They'll both be grateful, believe me.
763
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,000
Ah, I can see it now.
764
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,400
Get there
after the victory on the Somme,
765
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,920
just in time for the triumphal march
to the Rhine.
766
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,640
Shh.
What, what?
767
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,640
Sir, I came across a dead runner.
768
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,120
The way I read it,
769
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,280
I reckon we're still about 200 yards
from the jump-off point.
770
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,640
(Shouts) Platoon will follow me
to the extended line. Move!

Hold your fire, men.

We're Aussies!

What the hell are you jokers
doing here?
776
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,000
Advancing troops to Pozieres.
What are you doing?
777
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,680
Just trying to find the village.
778
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,960
I think the village
is that pile of rubble up there.
779
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,200
Mind if I check it on your maps?
780
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,040
We don't have a map.
That's bloody lovely, isn't
it?
781
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,280
Neither do we.

This is getting us nowhere, sir.

If we can't sort it out,
we'll have to find company HQ.
785
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,749
Come on, sir.
The men can hold their positions.
786
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,794
Right.
Men! Just hold your positions.
787
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,360
Sergeant, you put your men
up on the edge of the village, huh?
788
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:54,793
Right.
789
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,640
Come on, Harry, let's go.
790
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,632
Come on, Harry!
Don't take this out on me, Martin!
791
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,880

with orders like these!

I don't know our jump-off point,
nor where I'm supposed to be going.
799
00:49:23,240 --> 00:49:25,920
You were told to advance
as far as you can.

but that's all I've got to go on.

Have you seen any enemy?
803
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,760
They're probably
as disorganised as we are.
804
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,040
Can I see your map, sir?
Map? (Chuckles)
805
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,960
I haven't got any bloody map.
806
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,871
What a way to run a war!

00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:43,640

809

and it's falling in all the wrong places.

We could push Fritz to Berlin
if we had one ounce of generalship.
811

Armstrong, round up all the men you can
812
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,440
and occupy the church out at Pozieres.
813
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,829
I'll try and sort out this mess.
Yes, sir.

Hey...
Oh, struth.
815

No live Germans for at least
a hundred yards out there, Sarge,
816
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,720
but lots of them dug in after that.
817

wandering about?

Patrol?
819
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,280
You should be helping to dig in.

It's OK, Sarge.
821
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,560
We paid Pudden to dig twice as hard
to make up for it.
822
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,516
They did too, Sarge. And I am.
823
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,920
Can you make any sense out of this?
Does it matter?

00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,240
Pudden from Patchewollock.

you've gotta go, mate.

We can't keep calling you Wilhelm.

as the Kaiser.

is extremely skilful in their use of it.
123
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,438

and they use them like this.

00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,873
Guns... bombs...
128
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,473
Bravery, perhaps.
129
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,912

147
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,720
How are we gonna go in this?
148
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,320
I don't know.
149
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,520
Not a gang of Abduls flooding in,
150
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,480
bloody German army out there.
151
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,000
They can't be any better
than old Johnny Turk.
152
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,840
Course they bloody are.
153
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,640
This line hasn't advanced
in a year and a half.
154
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,712
Armies from all over the world
against them, they're still there.
155
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,115
How the hell are we gonna shoot them?
156
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,233
Come and have a brew.
157
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,915
(Whispers) Keep it quiet,
and come up here.
158
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,313
Mrs Baker?
159
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,113
Mrs Baker?
160
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,913
May I sit down?
161
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,080
I hope you don't mind
my intruding like this.
162
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,000
It's just that no-one at Tolangerook
has seen you these last few months.
163
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,480
I thought, perhaps...
164
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,560
Thought you could play
the lady bountiful.
165
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:15,000
Mrs Baker, that's not at all...
166
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,840
I've had all the connection I want
with the Barringtons.
167
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,116
First I lose me husband with them,
and then me boy.
168
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,720
That's the most horrible thing
I've ever heard.
169
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Your Martin...
170
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,515
...he was there when Dick was killed.
171
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,432
You disgraceful woman.
172
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,358
You know Martin would have done
anything for Dick. Anything.
173
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,840
And where do you think Martin is now?
174
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,196
In some safe place behind the line?
175
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,273
No.
176
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,560
Oh, look... stay, please.
177
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:54,240
(WISTFUL PIANO MUSIC)
178
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,680
I know what it feels like.
179
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:59,035
Hoping against hope.
180
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,038
I'll put the kettle on.
181
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,557
Actually...
182
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,280
...I came to ask a favour.
183
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Of me?
184
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,240
Yes.
185
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,480
You see, with all the men at war
186
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,720
and some of the girls
working in munitions,
187
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,960
we're desperately short of help
at the house.
188
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,440
I was wondering...
189
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,680
Wouldn't want to live
up there no more.
190
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,113
That wouldn't be necessary.
191
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,640
Oh...
192
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,840
Well... would, em...
193
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,308
...Mondays to Fridays be OK?
194
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,429
I'm... l'm going to enjoy
this cup of tea.
195
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,080
(Men sing) Goodbye, Piccadilly
196
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,000
Farewell, Leicester Square
197
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,560
It's a long, long way
to Tipperary
198
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,030
But my heart's right there.
199
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,360
Dingo Gordon, 40 francs.
200
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,840
Cleary, me old mate, I'm flat broke.
201
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,990
You're always flat broke,
aren't you, Dingo?
202
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,280
That's 10 francs. All you've gotta do
is find another 30.
203
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,760
Where will I steal that, mate?
You'll manage.
204
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,035
15 francs.
Bill.
205
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,240
Shylock.
Shylock?
206
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,080
Just a hardworking bookmaker, mate.
207
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,360
Anyway, Shylock charged interest.
208
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,720
He's right, Bill.
209
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,400
Is he, Pudden?
210
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,992
And who was Shylock?
211
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,080
The bloke Pat told me about.
212
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Officer material, Pat?
213
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,600
Born leader of men, Bill.
214
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,080
Morrissey!
215
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,920
Oh. Didn't see you there, Pat.
216
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,400
Bad luck, was it, eh?
217
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,880
Yeah.
Yeah.
218
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,598
35 francs.
219
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,153
Better luck next time.
220
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Hey, Bill...
221
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,753
Got a minute, mate?
222
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,720
Listen, I've got a bit of a job on
later tonight.
223
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,320
Wondered if you could give me a hand.
I would if I could.
224
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,960
But I'm on a carrying party at 0300,
carrying 2 tons of barbwire,
225
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,200
ammunition, duckboards
and orders of the bleeding day
226
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,680
up into the line.
227
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,600
Listen, I'll help you with that
if you help me with my little job.
228
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,280
Ah. Wouldn't be against
King's regulations, would it?
229
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,760
Ah! Heaven forbid.
230
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,440
Special orders from General Haig, mate.
231
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,520
Could shorten the war by months.
232
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,760
Matter of fact, the high command
specifically requested
233
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,560
that I have at least one Pom on the job.
234
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,240
In that case...
235
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,958
Pudden, Upton.
236
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,960
Thanks for the bloody company.
237
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,200
There you go, boys. Have one on me.
238
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,270
(Laughs)
239
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400
So, there.
Absolute vigilance, do you hear?
240
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,800
This consignment of whiskey
is for general headquarters.
241
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,560
Every case must be accounted for,
242
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,640
particularly as there are Australians
in the area.
243
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,120
Carry on, Corporal.
244
00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:11,840
Sir, good as done, sir!
245
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,274
Right, lads, move it!
Prepare to begin.
246
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Stop! Look! There's one of them.
247
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,552
Arrest him.
248
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,480
Hang on, fair go.
249
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,560
We were ordered here
to pick up the padre's altar wine.
250
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,993
A likely story.
251
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,080
He's right, sir. It's all in order.
252
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,040
Well, there's no wine here,
so clear off!
253
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Clear off? If there's no service
tomorrow, there'll be hell to pay.
254
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,520
The padre would wanna know...
Get out!
255
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,560
We were gonna be altar boys.
Go!
256
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:50,993
Our first mass.
257
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,632
Carry on, Corporal.
258
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,160
MAN: Right, left. Right, left.
Right, left. Right, left,
259
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,800
Right, left. Right, left.
Right, left. Right...
260
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,109
Detail... halt!
261
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,230
Detail wheel advance, right turn!
262
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,400
(Loudly) Corporal McLeod,
263
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,360
extra security detachment
from Railyard HQ, sir!
264
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:31,800
We have been informed
there are Australians in the area.
265
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,313
Quite.
266
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,360
You're a bally disgrace!
267
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,680
Do up that top button!
What unit are you from?
268
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,160
You horrible wee man!
269
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,153
How dare you speak to an officer
without permission?!
270
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,080
203rd Light Rail Company, sir.
You can't pick and choose these days.
271
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,560
Absolutely right.
272
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,040
With your permission, sir,
273
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,840
I'll post these two
at the door of the rail
274
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,360
and I, myself, with Jones there
will take post at the lorry.
275
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:13,200
They'll personally count
every item in there.
276
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,633
(Shouts) Detail, move!
277
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:18,640
One!
278
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,000
Er... begin!
Have the men count loudly.
279
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,480
CORPORAL: Three...
280
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,440

Seven... Come on, lads.

Eight...

00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:34,880
...nine...
286
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,320
21... 22...
287
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,840
Stop!
23...
288
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,273
Stop!
289
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,753
How many did you say?
290
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,480
16, sir... I think.
291
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,913
16?
292
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:51,872
I'll stay here now.
293
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,108
Ready, and I want to hear
the count loudly.
294
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,320
32...
295
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,800

297
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,680

106.
319
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,280
Oh, come on, you slackers,
there's another 25 to come off yet.
320
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,160
Beggin' your pardon, sir,
but there's only two left.
321
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,840
What?!
322
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,273
We've been robbed!
323
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,560
Aye, sir.
There's the man responsible.
324
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,074
I'll nab him.
Security detachment, follow me!
325
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,269
Come back, young man. Come back!
326
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,080
You're under arrest!
327
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,000
One... two... three... four...
328
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,760
Five.
Yes, thank you, Corporal.
329
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,240
Sir.
330
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,600
Six... seven... eight...
331
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,033
PAT:9... 10.
332
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,680
22 exactly.
333
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,360
Ma belle France. That'll do me.
334
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:31,960
(French accent) Pardon?
France.
335
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,640
More opportunities here
336
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,680
for an enterprising businessman
such as meself.
337
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,200
Found Gallipoli
a bit restricting in that way.
338
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,000
You do not expect me
to keep this loot here?!
339
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,760
Loot? Oh, no, we're just minding it
for General Haig.
340
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,955
See, it's got his name
on the bottle.
341
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,800
(Scoffs) How you say? Bull!
342
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,760
Oh, just for a while, anyway.
343
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,160
Anyway, you're gonna have to...
mind it
344
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,400
until we get the marketing operation
under way.
345
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,720
No. Why should I have the risk?
346
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,358
'Cause half of it is yours.
347
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,200
Why you do this?
348
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,440
Oh, I don't know. Can't help myself.
349
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,120
Generosity runs in the family.
350
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:10,317
Besides, it'll mark the beginning
of our, ah... partnership.
351
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:12,960
Partnership?
352
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,480
There's a lot more stuff like this
out there
353
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,233
just waiting to fall off
the back of a truck.
354
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,120
(SULTRY MUSIC)
355
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:24,040
Ho ho! Thank you, General!
356
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,758
No worries.
357
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,840
ARMSTRONG: All present, Sergeant?
Sir.
358
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,320
PAT: Yeah, all here –
359
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,280
Dead-Eye Dick,
Mexican Pete, and Sambo.
360
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,760
Shut up, Cleary.
361
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,360
Right, I'll run through the details
of this trench raid one last time.
362
00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:41,280
But firstly I want to say
363
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,480
that brigade staff are terribly keen
about this stunt.
364
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,440
Maybe they should do it instead.
365
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,680
So all eyes will be
on our performance.
366
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,240
I want every man to give of his best.
367
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,960
Our aim is to gather information
on the German unit opposite us.
368
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,440
Ideally, we would like a prisoner.
369
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,352
If not, documents
or unit identifications.
370
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,920
The search party will be led by me.
371
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,831
Corporal Barrington
will be second-in-command.
372
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,917
The covering party will be in
the command of Sergeant McArthur.
373
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:16,908
I want you in and out
of those trenches in five minutes.
374
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:21,480
The box barrage
will begin at 0300 hours.
375
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,072
Any questions?
376
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:27,317
(EXPLOSION)
377
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,073
Now it's time to move.
378
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:32,800
Good luck.
379
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,600
(Upton sings) Oh, the Camptown
ladies sing this song
380
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,080
Do-da, Do-da
381
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,040
Camptown racetrack's
5 miles long...
382
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,350
PAT: That's a good idea, Upton.
Sing, let 'em know we're coming.
383
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,311
Don't fiddle with that revolver,
Pudden.
384
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,000
Ah, »trench raid' –
385
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,640
is that a staff name for keeping
the troops on their toes, sir?
386
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,108
Well, they have to put something
in the communiques.
387
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,680
Martin, when are you gonna apply
for a commission?
388
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,160
You sound like my father.
389
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,640
You know you should.
390
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,680
Ah, no.
I'm happy here... with my mates.
391
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,717
Mates can be one burden too many
in this war.
392
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,671
(Clears throat)
Ah, how's the time, sir?
393
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,113
It's time.
394
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,200
ROLY: It was a harsh introduction
395
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,000
to the way things were done
on the Western Front.
396
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,040
None of us were happy about it,
but nobody said anything.
397
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,960
We'd learnt that
the front-line soldier
398
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,837
didn't get much say in his fate.
399
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,550
Mr Armstrong was outed
by a drop short before it even began.
400
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,920
Trench raids were hated by everybody.
401
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,600
At worst they caused casualties,
402
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,720
and at best it goaded old Fritz
into a bloody retaliation.
403
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,840
All for the dubious advantage
of identifying some German unit
404
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,120
that might not
even be there next week.
405
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:57,953
This one was attended
by the usual confusion.
406
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,193
Upton!
407
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,080
FLANAGAN: Check there.
408
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,760
Even with all the chaos,
409
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,880
thanks to Pudden
we did manage to get a prisoner.
410
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,400
Pat? Well, he was pleased to pick up
his first valuable souvenir.
411
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,277
Jackpot.
412
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,993
Cleary!
413
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:31,800
Where are they others?
Down further.
414
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,280
Get them out. Quick.
415
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,760
How's Morrissey?
416
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,193
Dunno, mate.
417
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,680
Come on, men!
418
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,040
MARTIN: Better get Cleary.
419
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,840
I don't remember seeing Sergeant
McArthur in the enemy trenches,
420
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,120
but then it was all like a blur.
421
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:48,600
MARTIN: Come on. Move it.
422
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,720
Martin and Flanagan seemed to know
more than they were saying.
423
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,235
And anyway, we were just glad
to survive another trench raid.
424
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,437
Besides, everyone has his bad days
now and again.
425
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,431
Harry? Harry?
426
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,120
Macca?
427
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:15,315
Macca? Macca?
428
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,638
Come on. You're alright. Come on.
429
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,400
Come on. Get up.
430
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,080
Come on.
431
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,560
Come on.
432
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,993
Come on.
433
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:32,599
Alright. Off you go.
434
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,720
I got these from young Barrington.
Magnificent.
435
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,960
(EXPLOSION)
Hell's bells.
436
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,600
Congratulations, Armstrong.
A prisoner too.
437
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,000
Don't thank me, Captain.
I was knocked out by a drop short.
438
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,440
Sergeant McArthur here took over,
then carried me out under fire.
439
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,910
Tremendous. Wait till the Colonel
hears about this.
440
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,800
ARMSTRONG: Stand fast.
441
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,358
As you were, lads.
442
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,480
I have just had word from Brigade.
443
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,880
Our raid was one of the most
successful and fruitful operations
444
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,360
of its type they've seen.
445
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,955
Jesus!
What were the others like, then?
446
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,000
You have all acquitted yourself
with very great distinction
447
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,595
and I am very proud
to be able to serve with you.
448
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,080
In particular, I'd like to single out
Sergeant McArthur...
449
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,231
...for his initiative
in taking command.
450
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
And for also saving my life.
451
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,878
He has been awarded
the military medal.
452
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,392
Drinks are on the Sergeant.
453
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,233
FLANAGAN: Good form, mate.
454
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,840
It's good rough shooting country
round here.
455
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,400
The King could be interested.
456
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,480
What's in the diary today, Kiggell?
457
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,800
Oh, there's that long cable
from Marshal Joffre
458
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,760
asking for details
on the Somme Offensive.
459
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,240
He wants an early start.
460
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,720
Tiresome man!
461
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,960
When we no longer
have to pull chestnuts
462
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,920
out of the fire for the frogs,
463
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,720
perhaps we can fight
on ground of our own choosing.
464
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,200
Next year.
465
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,680
Anything else?
466
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,960
A Mr Murdoch this
afternoon.
Who's he again?
467
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,640
An Australian newspaper man.
He's some...
468
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,000
An Australian and a newspaper man.
That's doubly unfortunate.
469
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,680
He's some sort of
informal representative
470
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,160
of the Australian Prime Minister.
471
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,800
I really don't need to be reminded
that the Australians are in France.
472
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,320
There's been reports of thefts,
disorder in back alleys.
473
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,560
It's South Africa all over again!
South Africa?
474
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,120
Yes, the colonial hooligans.
475
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,200
We were gonna pack off home, then.
And did you, sir?
476
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,160
They were useful
against the Boer command.
477
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,480
The same sort of ragamuffin mentality.
478
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,155
We shot a couple, as I remember.
Yes. So we
did.
479
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,480
Probably have to do the same again.
I'm afraid not, sir.
480
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,960
After that affair,
481
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,474
the Australians abolished
the death penalty in their army.
482
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,795
The devil they did!
483
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,680
Oh, we'll have to change that.
484
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,640
Make a note that I raise the matter
with this Murdoch fellow.
485
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,120
Right, sir.
486
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,720
If not, Kiggell, we must blood 'em
as soon as possible.
487
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,029
Somme should be ideal.
488
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,079
Quieten 'em down.
489
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,440
Oh...
490
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,200
(Speaks French)
491
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,880
C'est une bon bouteille, monsieur.
492
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,600
Know it all, don't you?
493
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,080
Oh, not quite all.
494
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,440
Oh, just showing off in front of
an ignorant country girl.
495
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,560
I like showing off in front of you.
I always have.
496
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,632
Dick and I used to laugh about that
all the time.
497
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,000
Remember the time
you fell out of the red gum?
498
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,520
Just because I said

the possibility
of all five Australian divisions

I will not have my hands tied
as to where I can dispose them.

feel very keenly about.

00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,760
But I remind you, Mr Murdoch,
that you are a small country.
586
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,400
And your army is less than 10%
of the British forces in France.
587
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,080
A not insignificant force,
I hope.

against a first-class enemy.

591
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,120
they are creating
legal and disciplinary problems
592
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,560
out of all proportion
to their numbers.
593
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,360
Perhaps under their own command...
594
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,000
And furthermore...
595
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,760
...l'd like you to convey to your
prime minister in the strongest terms
596
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,640
the urgent need
to reintroduce the death penalty.
597
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,320
The Australian people
would never again
598
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,630
hand the power of life and death
to a British court martial.

The maintenance of discipline
600
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,200
must take precedence
over national feeling.
601

Agreed, if that's what's at stake.
602
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,080
But our men are all volunteers.
603
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,036
The kind more easily led
than driven.
604
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,036
A dubious distinction.
605
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,920
I don't see how volunteerism
can replace the normal wastage,
606
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,080
let alone losses, in a major battle.

through and set the cavalry loose.

to join the great battle
673
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,600
that was going to win the war.

Even the old hands
who might have reason to know better
675
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,360
were caught up in the mood.
676
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,600
We'd heard the guns a long way off.
677
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,880
They'd been going non-stop
for three weeks,
678
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,360
and we were pretty sure
679
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,160
that old Fritz
must be really knocked about by now.
680
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,120
The village they wanted us to take
681
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,031
couldn't be much of a problem, surely?
682
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,514

that I should join up, Father?

and your family –

I'd just get in the way.

at sport at school,

being an officer.

00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,109
The German bombers
have gotten blocked!
847
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,038
Bluey, machine gun on the right!
848
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,271
Gotta get around behind them.
Now! Let's go!
849
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,598
Christ, they're onto us!
We're sitting ducks!
850
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,960
Move the platoon forward
at the double.
851
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:01,360
Platoon! Forward at the double!
852
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,909
(TENSE MUSIC)
853
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,195
Sergeant,
check that end of the trench.
854
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:28,720
Looks like we're stuck here.
855
00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:32,240
They've got a feed on us
every time we stick up our heads.
856
00:55:32,240 --> 00:55:33,880
Take a party of five men
857
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,320
and bomb back down the trench
behind the enemy.
858
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,840
Your objective is to assist the
4th battalion to bring up the flank.
859
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,273
Sir.
860
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,240
Pudden, grab all those German bombs.
861
00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:50,791
Flanagan, Kaiser, Murray,
grab those bombs and follow me.
862
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:58,954
I'm with you,
Martin.
You stay here and cover us.
863
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,240
Corporal...
864
00:56:09,240 --> 00:56:11,480
If it gets too hot, pull out.
865
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:12,913
Yes, sir.
866
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,560
Mr Armstrong, the enemy on the
left's holding up the whole sector.
867
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,280
Send a party around behind them.
868
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,669
I have. They're on the way.
Good man.
869
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,600
(BANG!)
870
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,033
(GUNFIRE)
871
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,594
(MACHINE-GUN FIRE)
872
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,113
Cover.
873
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:15,833
There they are.
874
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,157
Bomb.
875
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,433
Got him. Let's go.
876
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,519
Flanagan, cover front.
Pudden, cover rear.
877
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,073
(Soldier speaks German)
878
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,509
Germans, lots of them.
Back into the next bay.
879
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,552
Come on, Pud.
880
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,600
Hold it!
881
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,397
Form a bomb block here.
882
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:27,480
Come on.
883
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,232
Get back.
884
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,755
(EXPLOSION)
885
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,389
(EXPLOSIONS)
886
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,440
This is bloody hopeless! We can't get
past them, and they can't touch us.
887
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:56,480
If I can make it to that machine-gunpost,
I'll be able to drop bombs right on them.
888
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,920
Don't be stupid. There's lead flying
in all directions. If Fritz...
889
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:03,320
What choice have we got?
We've gotta get over the top.
890
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,200
Alright, you're the boss.
Yeah.
891
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,270
Pud, give us a leg-up.
892
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,919
See anything, Blue?
893
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,273
Now!
894
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,153
Go!
895
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,717
More bombs!
896
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:44,233
(MACHINE-GUN FIRE)
897
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,120
Kaiser! Kaiser!
898
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,271
Keep 'em coming. More bombs.
899
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,516
Marty!
900
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:08,513
They're breaking.
901
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,598
The 4th are making ground, Blue.
902
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,755
Quiet, Pudden! We've done our bit.
903
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,478
Hope I'm not interrupting anything.
904
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:16,912
G'day, Roly.
You alright, Pud?
905
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,954
You mad bugger, Barrington.
906
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,236
I never thought I'd see you again.
907
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,120
PAT: There you go, boys.
Share this around.
908
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,112
