00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,320
The great Somme Offensive
had sputtered to a close
4
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:31,360
in the last months of 1916.
5
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,840
Patrol's still out, sir.
6
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,440
It was now the new year,
7
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,840
and the north European winter
descended on the battlefield,
8
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,071
a battlefield turned into a moonscape
by a million shells.
9
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,360
This desolate place marked where
300,000 British soldiers fell
10
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,191
for the gain of a few miles.
11
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,200
The guns were mostly silent now,
12
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,031
except for an occasional
burst of hate.
13
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,200
The soldiers' energies
were concentrated
14
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,398
on battling those old foes -
rain and cold.
15
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,871
Few of us could ever forget
the winter of 1916-17.
16
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,400
Also buried here
were illusions and false hopes
17
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,231
for a quick end to the war.
18
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,440
Two mighty armies faced each other
over a few yards of muddy ground
19
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,795
in a paralysing stalemate.
20
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,357
And while generals in warm chateaux
puzzled to find an answer...
21
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,838
...front-line soldiers
were united in a common misery.
22
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,796
Old Fritz was just as badly off.

They could have killed us.
26
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,520
Well, you could have killed them.
27
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Yeah, but I didn't want to.
28
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,430
There aren't many
I want to kill, mate.
29
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,040
Don't let the colonel
hear you say that.
30
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,519
Stupid!
31
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,598
I was crazy to join up.
32
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,352
Ah, we all were, Roly.
33
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,600
(Voice wavers) I'm not any good
at killing people.
34
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,670
Hey! You're good enough, mate.
35
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,592
I hate this war.
36
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,280
I hate the mud, and the lice.
37
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,750
The blokes being wounded
and blown apart, killed.
38
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,320
But there's my mates.

What I mean is that...
41
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,673
...there's times...
42
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,793
...even now...
43
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,959
...when I've been so happy.
44
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:23,759
I love the war.
45
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,436
I wouldn't have missed it for quids.

Your suggestion, Sergeant?
Yes, Mr Armstrong.
61

I think if we can get through...

I could charge for this, Bill?

Yes, sir.

You can forget the 'sir'.
72
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,640
I think you had better show
Mr Earnshaw around, Corporal.
73

And put the head down.
74
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,918
Er, better take a look
at the trench maps, sir.

Yes, I did. It's none of my business.

Up a couple of yards.
109

We'll give them four.

Four!

You were, were you?
Yes, sir.

we fire back double.

every hour that God sends.

by arrangement, Mr Earnshaw.

We intend to keep it that way!

Never mind about that.

I wouldn't say that.

Yes. 1916 was a good year.

You're ruining your career, George.
Why?

It's about Pudden Parsons.

I've a report he's been seen
on the old Somme battlefield.

Where the organised groups of
deserters are believed to hang out.
533
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,480
The colonel's agreed
if we find him, he'll be charged
534
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,080
with the lesser
absence without leave,
535

in the face of the enemy.

Exactly, Flanagan. Now, I want you
to take a party out and find him.
538

They say these deserters
are a pretty desperate lot,

00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,240
so you'll go fully armed.

Suits me, sir.
I'd love a crack at those mongrel...

as your first priority, Flanagan.

...because time and again,
705

they're asked to lead their men into
one bloody shambles after another,

or blown to bits themselves.

break the stalemate in France

and blood against machine guns,

There are some Australians
who are strongly opposed

that volunteers have endured.

To be fair,

he has good strategic grounds.
763
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,400
Even old Marshal Foch has said
that an offensive at Ypres
764
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,800
would be like a duck's march
through a swamp.
765

So far, it's the best kept secret

The French are pressing
for a British attack, anywhere,

772
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,231
they can win the war at a stroke
on the French front.

Sodding General Gough.

You heard of him?

Oh, yes, we have.
874
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,193
Threw us in like lambs
to the slaughter, they did.

Our officers did the rest.

Led us head-on against wire
and machine guns.

from time to time, you know.

No, Martin, it's not that.
882

No premonitions? I've had one
or two and nothing happened.
883

dream, we'd all go off our rockers.

we might as well call it off...

We're going to win this one.

the Aussies up?

Soon.

We went where we was told -
time and time again.

Just 3 of us now.

Now, just a minute, mate...

Most of these diggers
went through the Somme.

We can get the drift.

Yeah, I had 'em tailor-made.

Listen, mate, when you get knocked,
can I have them?
1217
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,120
I'll tell you what.
They cost me 100 francs.
1218

You give me 20 francs right now
and they're yours when I get killed.

it's quite clear what's happened.

have attacked the same time as us.

Withdrawal of that may condemn
your friend to a great deal of it.

Yes, sir, but I think that's better
1391
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,760
than him falling into
a sleep that he won't wake up from.

In some cases, that may be
the more merciful course.

Very well, you may stay with him.

Doctor, this is highly irregular!

Matron, this whole damn war
is highly irregular.

up in that big old red gum.

You and Dick had a fight
over the honeyeater's eggs.

Dick swung at you like an idiot
and fell out of the tree.
