:42:00
And brave ones at that.
:42:03
I've been in the room you'll be in.
The sun will be in your faces,
:42:06
so don't let it seem as if you're dropping
your eyes in a hangdog manner.
:42:11
When you speak,
look the judges in the eye.
:42:14
Don't whine, plead or
make speeches - that's my job.
:42:17
Simple statements - short, but make them
so they can be heard all over the room.
:42:21
Try not to repeat yourselves.
I'll do that for you when I sum up.
:42:25
We haven't much time. The court martial
is in an hour and I've got notes to look at.
:42:31
Good luck.
:42:33
Thank you, sir.
:43:14
The court martial is open.
The prisoners may be seated.
:43:21
(coughs)
:43:23
This is a general court martial, so we shall
dispense with unnecessary formalities.
:43:28
These men are charged with
cowardice in the face of the enemy,
:43:32
and will be tried for that offence.
:43:35
- Mr Prosecutor?
- Call the accused. Private Ferol.
:43:39
Mr President, will the prosecutor
question the witnesses
:43:43
without even reading the indictment?
:43:45
Please don't take up
the court's time with technicalities.
:43:48
The indictment is lengthy,
and there's no point in reading it.
:43:52
- The defence has a right to know...
- It states the accused showed cowardice
:43:56
in the face of the enemy
during the attack on the Ant Hill.
:43:59
Proceed, Mr Prosecutor.
