Musketeer Juniper, a joy to have
on any team, one of the original BEFs.
:04:07
What they really thought of me,
I shall never know.
:04:10
- I thought he was bleeding rubbish.
- I thought he was a bleeding tart.
:04:15
Can I have you right out there
in the country, Gripweed?
:04:19
Musketeer Gripweed, without whom these
memoirs would never have been written.
:04:23
My faithful batman.
:04:26
May I rub your ball, sir?
It gives me pleasure.
:04:29
- Musketeer Drogue, I die in North Africa.
- Please.
:04:35
We're gonna hang out the washing
on the Siegfried Line
:04:49
I rallied to the flag in October 1939
:04:53
and was immediately selected
as officer potential.
:04:58
Every word of this film is written
in pencil in my own handwriting.
:05:05
I owe my introduction to the art of war
to my instructors at No.212 OCTU.
:05:10
In particular,
1431 Lieutenant Colonel Grapple,
:05:14
later to be known as Grapple
of the Bedoo, who impressed me no end.
:05:19
I took care to talk as far back
in the mouth as possible,
:05:22
being a grammar school lad...
which made no difference.
:05:25
I've always been treated
by the army as top drawer.
:05:29
What did you say?
:05:33
Sir...
:05:38
Never underrate the wily Pathan.
:05:41
We are going onto the wily Pathan
and the use of anti-gas carpet.
:05:45
- Ya... Ya...
- The Pathan lives in India.
:05:48
India is a hot, strange country,
full of wily Pathans up to wily things.
:05:51
Which is why I always wear spurs,
even in cold weather.
:05:55
My advice is to keep your rifle strapped
to a suitable portion of your body.
