At rest.
Can I talk to you, Sergeant?
It has been postponed.
For a day or two And we have to stay here.
Here? Oh Jesus Christ!
And the rest of the battalion? - Backup?
They will come tonight and need to keep the line until they arrive. .
That will be just before the attack - Other two nights?
But we will be with the first wave We are the third wave.
But that's not what they said... - I told them that we wanted
Very emphatically.
But they say that we are well provided hot food and stuff.
What do you think? - The third wave, said. / / - If
Supplies will come
Well Well...

Always doing shit hole What war!
A side. Free way!
Care back there... . Out of the way.
Engineers.
Give me a hand. The guys are the experts. .
They are good men, but - The salt of the earth.
They seemed very happy
Macfarlane and Daventry, your turn.
Move it
Fuck them. Go to sleep -. Thank you, Sergeant.
One up, one down. Alternatively.
Thank you very much.

Listen.
Do not smoke, do not sleep
Sergeant?
How far they are from us because I see nothing?.
Approximately 400 yards
But keep your eyes open
Last night, shot nine times
Fired? - Snipers.
Why do you think the trenches are so deep?
There is a sniper gun pointing to the peephole If you see a move, shoot
Therefore it is very important... So do not do anything stupid. .
Okay Sergeant
Links are the Scots who are right on our right
That's all you need to know.
Sergeant?
When... when expected the attack?
I'll let you know with advance.
Billy... carefully
Daventry!

I can not be better.
I would not be anywhere else.
And you, how are you?
Want to relieve you?
I have to pee - So. ?
What's the problem?.
I do not know where to do it - In the trench, no one will notice.
I promise I will not tell
All right. I will in a moment.
Very noble of you
How long have Tommy was killed?.
Since December 1914 - Yes, now I remember.
God, it's been almost two years.
It was ten days before Christmas.
How... ?
How was he really dead?
I have curiosity.
It was by an artillery shell
It exploded on top of it.
I went to see their companions.
I talked to them after and was told that Tom...
... Completely disappeared He was gone.
Completely
Well, almost completely...
All they found all small remnants...
They gathered in a sock - Damn!
Why do you think so many Germans killed as I can?
When we attack kill all that we can... By Tom.
zEnterraron the sock? - What sock?.
This sock where all the rest of it? - Do not know. Why do. ?
In a normal burial? - Do not know. Why?
So worth the effort.
Daventry? Daventry!
What is it? - I heard something...
Probably one of us - I heard German voices.
Billy. You hear those explosions?
Do not be stupid - That bombing runs for five days. .
Thousands and thousands of shells fall in the German trenches / / z Then?
So if you're a German...
... with all those explosions, z'd walking in no man's land?
Not ... . Probably not.

How was that?
The Germans They have not seen them there on the hill
We shot with a machine gun in an arc. and good night.
We were too far away to hear anything - Damn it. . What did you do?

Many children died there -We had a damn lucky. .

When finished, Hogg andd to Supplies.
And Rookwood, fast! Hogg walks alongside. .

I just had a nice dream.
I was in Southport, on the boulevard.
With a very charming lady.
zVos you think that... ? I have an idea
Is it possible that someone once can...
... that in 2 or 3 sentences...
... Not important, but is there anyway...
... Something special about it. .
... Or something like that.
Asked fascinating Macfarlane.
You are talking nonsense. Gibberish. Say what you mean.
I have not met anyone what I said is not much, but... .
... but I think something special between us.
Well... This phenomenon, Billy...
... It's called "love at first sight ' - I know.
I was sure it was mutual.
So it's not reciprocal of the girl?
No. Just what I said She feels the same.
And z did you say in that memorable encounter?
I remember exactly.
I said... I said:
Why I can please make a postal sending for a shilling?

Bad luck
Ultimately, it is luck.
What do you mean?
All...
I chose three rations for departure It could have been anyone. .
Good luck to those who chose not bad luck for those who do
That's a bit brutal.
You mean... no sense.
Who says I'm lucky?
Or you, Lieutenant.
Probably never thought you'd come here.
I was hoping to start cultivating cotton in South Africa, so...
There you...
What about you? - Luck has nothing to do with it.
I am a professional soldier - Ah. I see. .

Two girls and a boy.
Thank you.
Cute family... . Beautiful daughters.
It's a lucky man, Sgt. Of luck...
Can I do anything for you, sir?
The Germans have a trench dug around here... .
... Maybe some sort of post listening.
The captain wants a patrol there to investigate what happens...
... And take action when they detect someone there
A patrol. How many men?
As little or as much as you want That's something I... .
... I must decide before the attack.
These things been done before, huh?
Often

Maybe it was an integral of the trench
I heard nothing after the explosions.
It was funny. When we approach his line, I heard them sing.
Below the earth, in their shelters.
They may have the courage to keep up. .
They are determined to fight, after five days - Singing?
And the barbed wire? - There are still plenty left.
After all those grenades? Jesus is going on here? - Their trenches were broken.
