1:25:01
We will proceed with a direct
frontal assault, tomorrow at dusk.
1:25:06
The problem, gentlemen,
is the approach.
1:25:10
There is only
a narrow strip of sand...
1:25:12
...through which we can only send
one regiment at a time.
1:25:17
Our hope is, that the leading
regiment can occupy the Rebs...
1:25:20
...long enough for reinforcements
to exploit the breach.
1:25:24
Needless to say...
1:25:26
...the casualties in the leading
regiment may be extreme.
1:25:31
General Strong.
1:25:34
The 54th Massachusetts...
1:25:37
...requests the honour of
leading the attack on Fort Wagner.
1:25:49
It´s Colonel Shaw, isn´t it?
1:25:52
Yes, sir.
1:25:53
You and your men
haven´t slept for two days.
1:25:58
That´s right, sir.
1:25:59
And you think they have the strength
to lead this charge?
1:26:06
There´s more to fighting
than rest, sir.
1:26:10
There´s character.
1:26:13
There´s strength of heart.
1:26:18
You should have seen us in action
two days ago.
1:26:22
We were a sight to see.
1:26:28
We´ll be ready, sir.
1:26:31
When do you want us?
1:26:53
Oh, my Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
