    Archy Hamilton: What do you mean, not our war?

    Archy Hamilton: You know what you are? A bloody coward.

    Frank Dunne: There's only one reason why I haven't knocked you down mate.

    Lt. Grey: I heard someone say they'd seen one sir.

    Lt. Grey: I'm not sure sir.

    Major Barton: Grey, you bloody idiot! Nobody got further than ten yards!

    [hits the phone]

    Col. Robinson: Bloody line! I don't care! Our marker flags have been seen in the Turkish trenches. The attack is to continue at all costs.

    Frank Dunne: But...

    Col. Robinson: I repeat, the attack must proceed!
