To End All Wars

:01:12

[Man Narrating]
How I miss Scotland...

:01:15

and the sea... the sea.

:01:18

There's nothing like it
in all the Earth...

:01:21

the salt in your face,
the wind at your back...

:01:25

and all the world before you.

:01:27

And you're freer than a bird in the air
or a fish in the ocean.

:01:31

To be free...

:01:34

I reckon that's why I joined
the Second War to end all wars.

I was at the university studying to be
a teacher when the call to arms occurred.

:01:53

I was only too eager to put aside my studies
for the glory of action.

:01:57

I stopped reading history
and became a part of it.

:02:02

I joined the proud ranks of
the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders...

:02:05

and became Captain Ernest Gordon.

:02:10

My commanding officer was
Lieutenant Colonel Stuart McLean,

:02:14

the finest commander
the 93rd Battalion ever had,

:02:18

a man of deep loyalties
to his country,

:02:21

his duty and his men,

:02:24

a loyalty that was soon to be matched
by his own second in command,

:02:28

Major lan Campbell,

:02:31

a man of passionate devotion to the colonel
as well as the cause.

:02:38

And it was our loyalties
that would eventually be tested.

:02:42

The Argylls had a legacy
or being the last line of defense,

:02:48

and we were to prove
that legacy once again...

:02:51

in the face of defeat...

:02:54

and capture by the enemy.
