:48:01
It's so wonderful
being at the hospital.
:48:03
I wish you could
come and visit.
:48:05
I will.
:48:06
But some of it's so sad.
:48:09
If you could see those boys.
:48:11
And they're so cheerful,
most of them.
:48:13
I know.
They have such courage.
:48:18
I like to think that you have
that kind of courage, too, darling.
:48:25
What are you trying to tell me?
:48:29
That when a man goes off to war,
we have to be...
:48:33
It's Bill!
:48:37
The telegram came
just a few minutes ago.
:48:39
It was addressed to you,
but I opened it.
:48:42
Did it say he was missing or what?
:48:46
I don't care if he's wounded,
if only...
:48:48
No, dear, it said he...
:48:50
It said he died in action
at Salerno.
:48:57
It couldn't be!
:49:00
It couldn't be!
:49:03
It could be a mistake,
couldn't it, Mother?
:49:06
I've heard that sometimes
they get the names mixed up.
:49:09
No, honey,
you mustn't fool yourself.
:49:12
That would be
the worst thing of all.
:49:15
You've got to face it,
as hard and cruel as it is.
:49:20
Yes, I know.
:49:23
I've known it all along.
:49:30
Cry, darling.
Cry your heart out.
:49:38
I won't try to tell you
that you'll get over it soon,
:49:41
because it will take time...
maybe a long time.
:49:56
No, I won't cry.
