1:07:00
...that has made you volunteer
for service in Lincoln's Army.
1:07:04
I can see that many of you are strong and fit.
1:07:07
We Maine men know that
life in the woods of Maine...
1:07:11
...toughens the muscles
and stretches the sinews.
1:07:14
I've no doubt many of you
have become good shots by hunting deer.
1:07:17
But tough muscles and skillful shooting
are not enough to make a soldier.
1:07:22
That requires discipline.
1:07:26
Major Gilmore tells me you are in the habit of
holding discussions with your officers.
1:07:30
That will cease from now.
1:07:33
An officer's orders are to be obeyed
instantly and without question.
1:07:39
This regiment must learn
to move as one man.
1:07:44
Otherwise we will all be killed.
1:07:53
Sergeant Tom Chamberlain
reporting for duty, sir.
1:07:56
Tom, what on earth...?
What are you doing?
1:07:58
I signed up, Lawrence, I'm in this regiment.
I'm coming with you.
1:08:02
Did Father approve?
How will he run the farm?
1:08:05
Once he heard you were colonel,
he couldn't say no.
1:08:08
Besides, you know him,
he'll be all right. They both will.
1:08:11
I'm giving them one less thing to cuss at.
1:08:13
Mama said so many prayers for the both
of us, we got nothing to worry about.
1:08:18
Well, I guess I have one more responsibility.
I have to look after you.
1:08:23
Me?
1:08:24
Lawrence, Mama told me to watch after you.
1:08:42
Line of battle consists of two lines of men,
one behind the other...
1:08:46
...so that while one line fires,
the other reloads.
1:08:49
Behind them is a line of file closers.
Lieutenants and sergeants.
1:08:54
But two lines make a regiment
unwieldy on the move...
1:08:57
...so we need to switch to column of fours.
