1:38:00
I can't imagine I shall ever get used
to the joy of it.
1:38:04
Surely, we shall never again
take our happiness for granted.
1:38:09
Goodbye. There's no one
I'm so happy to see as you.
1:38:12
Goodbye, Helen.
1:38:13
Next time I come, I'll expect
to find the three of you.
1:38:16
There's that bus. Goodbye.
Hi there. Hi.
1:38:22
From every point comes news of hope.
1:38:26
We can say at last without fear
that the end is in sight.
1:38:33
But even in victory,
we have cruel news to bear...
1:38:38
...Iosses that are the more tragic...
1:38:41
...because peace is so close at hand.
1:38:50
Peter Colley...
1:38:52
...lieutenant in the Coldstream Guards...
1:38:55
...was killed in action during a trench raid
on the night of November the 6th.
1:39:02
He remained in full view of the enemy
in order to rescue his batman...
1:39:06
...who had fallen fatally wounded.
1:39:12
Both men died
before they could be brought in.
1:39:19
It is a great honor to Brookfield
that His Majesty the king...
1:39:22
...has posthumously awarded Lt. Colley
the Distinguished Service Order.
1:39:34
None of you here
will remember Max Staefel.
1:39:38
He was German master at Brookfield
from 1890 until 1902.
1:39:44
He was very popular here,
made many friends...
1:39:48
...among whom I was proud
to include myself.
1:39:52
I received a letter from Switzerland
this morning...
1:39:55
...informing me that he had fallen
advancing with the Saxon Regiment...
