:13:02
Come, l'll brief you.
:13:08
To the right, the Qattara Depression.
:13:12
Not much to worry about.
:13:14
There's a minefield past the barbed wire,
then no man's land.

:13:20
The British are over there,
you can't see them.

:13:25
But they see us clearly
and send their 88's here.

:13:30
Keep low during the day, we move at night.
:13:34
Our artillery?
:13:36
The remaining cannons are in the north.
:13:41
We're in the south sector,
abandoned by God.

:13:47
First rule: keep your head low.
:13:50
Second: if you get dysentery
don't report sick, we all have it.

:13:55
Just cope with it.
:13:56
Third: vipers and scorpions.
:13:59
Watch where you put your hands
and when you put on your shoes...

:14:02
because scorpions look for warm places
at night.

:14:06
A quarter liter of water a day.
:14:08
lf you're used to washing up,
learn how to do it with sand.

:14:11
Rations arrive after dusk,
but often don't show up.

:14:14
You'll have to make do
with canned goods and biscuits.

:14:18
Cigarettes in abundance,
but matches are scarce.

:14:23
-Got that?
-Yes.

:14:26
Any questions?
:14:28
-The mail?
-On and off.

:14:50
Beloved Mom, Dear Father...
:14:53
I've finally arrived on the front line.
:14:57
My unit is posted
in the southernmost point of the front...
