00:17:23 [no audio]
00:17:33 [no audio]
00:17:39 Thanks for the smoke, sir.
00:17:41 [no audio]
00:17:49 Did you expect to get away with it?
00:17:51 [no audio]
00:17:53 Well, I wasn't really thinking about it, sir, one way or the other.
00:17:57 I just couldn't stand it anymore.
00:18:00 What the first time, sir?
00:18:02 What?
00:18:03 Well, I nearly did it once before. I mean, I thought of it.
00:18:07 Time of Warren Court.
00:18:09 I got sent back on a water party.
00:18:12 I was thinking I'd get away, but an MP got his eye on me, so I didn't.
00:18:17 And that was all?
00:18:19 Yes, sir.
00:18:20 [no audio]
00:18:22 Supposing the others had cleared off and left you on your own at Luce or Crones Wood?
00:18:29 I don't think it could have been much worse, sir.
00:18:32 [no audio]
00:18:34 Fine, well, forget about that.
00:18:36 Now tell me about the last time, the time you said you couldn't stand it anymore.
00:18:41 What about that?
00:18:43 The time this really started going in my head,
00:18:47 I got blown into a shell hole.
00:18:50 Two of the lads pulled me out with their rifles.
00:18:54 I'd seen it happen to a bloke a couple of days before.
00:18:58 He slips off the duckboards into the hole.
00:19:01 He's bobbing up and down in the mud,
00:19:04 like an egg boiling in water with his pack on and everything.
00:19:07 Well, I didn't help him, nobody did. It's laid down.
00:19:10 So, of course, when I got in the mud, I thought that was my lot, see?
00:19:13 I'm going to drown in it like he did.
00:19:15 Sucked into it, fighting it, drowning in it.
00:19:19 Oh, after that, I couldn't stand it anymore.
00:19:22 But the battalion was relieved.
00:19:27 You came back here for a rest.
00:19:29 Yes, sir.
00:19:31 And you waited ten days until you went.
00:19:34 Yes, sir.
00:19:36 Why?
00:19:38 Like I said, sir, I can't say anything different. I couldn't stand it anymore.
00:19:41 What, even out of battle?
00:19:43 Well, certainly, plus I could hear guns.
00:19:45 That's never the only way you can't hear them.
00:19:47 Yes, sir.
00:19:49 Mr. Webb, he knew, he knew.
00:19:51 He gave me extra rum.
00:19:54 Did you say anything to him about it?
00:19:56 Not much. There's nothing I could expect a gentleman in his position to do,
00:19:59 except what he did, give him the extra rum.
00:20:02 Wouldn't have made any difference to what I did on you, I wasn't going to go back.
00:20:06 You mean you planned it?
00:20:09 No, sir, no.
00:20:11 I didn't have a plan. I haven't got the sense, have I?
00:20:14 Maybe one time I would have had the sense, but not...
00:20:19 No, it was like being dead, sir.
00:20:22 And why did you wait ten days?
00:20:25 Oh, I don't know, sir. I didn't have a plan.
00:20:27 I went to the M.R. that time, yes.
00:20:30 And what did Dr. O'Sullivan say to you?
00:20:33 He gave me a number nine, sir, for me bowels.
00:20:36 I was spitting it out and he wasn't looking.
00:20:39 Maybe some sort of medicine would have helped me,
00:20:42 but one thing I didn't have any need of was a number nine.
00:20:45 And did he give you any other advice?
00:20:47 Well, he said I've got cold feet, so he said I was a soldier and I should be a bloody soldier.
00:20:52 Mind you, I didn't expect any different.
00:20:55 I didn't expect him to say anything, except what he did.
00:20:59 And why did you go?
00:21:01 Well, I thought he might have given me some sort of tonic, something to...
00:21:05 stop my diarrhea, stop me shaking, help me sleep.
00:21:10 Wouldn't have made any difference to what I did.
00:21:12 I knew I wasn't going to go back up the line.
00:21:15 Did you know the term was going back into the line before you went?
00:21:18 Yes, sir.
00:21:20 Is that what finally decided you?
00:21:23 No, sir.
00:21:24 Then what did decide you?
00:21:26 I don't know. I just started walking.
00:21:30 Walking away from the guns.
00:21:33 Did you know where you were walking to?
00:21:35 No, no.
00:21:37 After I'd got a few miles away from the guns, I got it into my head that I was making for Alm.
00:21:43 Islington, you know. Alm.
00:21:47 Didn't make any sense, but that's what I'd got in my head.
00:21:51 I must have walked a long way, because I remember I took my boots off and my big toe was bleeding.
00:22:01 Then I was in a car, sitting on some potato house.
00:22:06 Then I was in a train, and some fellas was playing cards.
00:22:13 And I was walking again.
00:22:16 And I was talking to this priest, but he was foreign.
00:22:20 I didn't know what he was talking about.
00:22:24 It was like a dream, sir.
00:22:26 I didn't know what was really happening or what wasn't.
00:22:30 Weren't you ever challenged?
00:22:32 Only when they picked me up.
00:22:34 Not till then?
00:22:35 Oh, no.
00:22:37 Didn't you hide in ditches and things too?
00:22:42 Avoid them?
00:22:44 Oh, no, sir. No, no.
00:22:46 Did they say anything to you when they arrested you?
00:22:49 Well, just about me being a deserter, and I heard one of them saying to the other about it being a shooting job.
00:22:59 Nothing else?
00:23:00 You see, there's nobody left in that company.
00:23:03 It's been out here as long as me, so he can't shoot me.
00:23:07 It's likely that you'll be found guilty of desertion.
00:23:11 And I'd be failing in my duty if I left the least shadow of doubt in your mind as to the consequences.
00:23:15 Well, I don't reckon I'll get off, sir, but that I can't shoot me.
00:23:19 Unless I can convince the court that you were acting under extraordinary strain at the time that you committed this crime,
00:23:26 you'll almost certainly be sentenced to death.
00:23:29 This was the first time, sir.
00:23:32 Mr. Webb, sir, he said I hadn't been a bad soldier.
00:23:35 He might say the same to them if he was asked.
00:23:38 Yes, he might.
00:23:40 Yeah, I thought that was worth mentioning, sir.
00:23:43 Can you think of anything else that was worth mentioning?
00:23:47 Uh, no, sir, no.
00:23:50 Did I tell you about Willie?
00:23:53 Bryson? Oh, yes, you told me about the letter.
00:23:55 Well, about when Willie was killed.
00:23:58 You told me that he'd been killed.
00:24:00 Well, I don't know if you can tell him about something like that.
00:24:04 Well, it's important for you to tell me.
00:24:07 Well, see, I was alongside of him when it happened.
00:24:10 Same as many a time before, five, six yards away.
00:24:15 It wasn't the first time I'd seen a man, blunt to bits, of course.
00:24:20 He wasn't even as if Willie was anything special to me.
00:24:23 Well, just a bit, you know, because he came from up our street.
00:24:26 But that's all, I mean, nothing special.
00:24:29 One thing about Willie, he was quick.
00:24:31 See, I never saw it.
00:24:32 I'm five or six yards away, I turns around, and now Willie's nowhere.
00:24:36 Except now for me.
00:24:38 Oh, I'll tell you, I had to get me a new uniform.
00:24:43 This is a...
00:24:49 This is a question that I may have to ask you in court, sir.
00:24:53 I might as well ask you now.
00:24:55 If they were lenient enough to send you to prison,
00:25:02 could you be relied upon to do your duty when you came out?
00:25:06 I'll try my best, sir.
00:25:07 I don't mean that.
00:25:09 Could you be relied on to go up the line and stay up the line?
00:25:17 I mean that exactly, nothing less.
00:25:20 Do you understand me?
00:25:24 Yes, sir.
00:25:25 Well...
00:25:27 Do I have to tell you the truth, sir?
00:25:30 Could you?
00:25:32 Can you tell me, sir?
00:25:35 Can you tell me anyway, being sure?
00:25:43 [thunder]
00:25:45 [rain]
00:25:48 [rain]
00:26:16 The prison's ready, sir.
00:26:17 It shouldn't take long, sir.
00:26:18 It's a bad business.
00:26:20 Who's in charge of the maker formalities?
00:26:23 One thing at a time, Sergeant Major.
00:26:26 Yes, sir.
00:26:27 [clanking]
00:26:28 [rain]
00:26:31 [thunder]
00:26:41 [rain]
00:26:44 [rain]
00:26:46 Give us that with this!
00:27:03 What is it, horse or mule?
00:27:06 Anything.
00:27:07 [grunts]
00:27:12 If we was left to ourselves, now we'd all be home in bed, haven't we?
00:27:15 Yeah, but I didn't say anything about that.
00:27:17 You can't win a war lying in bed, can you?
00:27:19 No, but...
00:27:20 So you do what you're told.
00:27:22 It doesn't make sense.
00:27:26 That's not our fault, is it?
00:27:28 Keep an eye open, cop.
00:27:30 Pity to waste it on that lot.
00:27:32 Where's the best bit?
00:27:33 This bit.
00:27:34 Chopper.
00:27:35 Knife.
00:27:40 Knife.
00:27:41 Hmm. Tixie.
00:27:46 Right.
00:27:51 Well, now we see what we can do for our officers.
00:27:54 [laughs]
00:27:55 The boss of Gavin?
00:27:57 How's that?
00:27:58 I'd have got him all spruced up like for his wedding.
00:28:01 Cut himself shaving, of course.
00:28:03 Well, if they shoot him, we won't have to belly him.
00:28:05 We just push him over and watch him sink.
00:28:08 They won't do it.
00:28:10 You're in a girl, sir?
00:28:11 Yes.
00:28:12 No, I think he's had it.
00:28:14 All the fragile shadows, you know.
00:28:16 Yah!
00:28:18 You going to get this silly bastard off, do you think?
00:28:26 You think so?
00:28:28 I hope he's right.
00:28:30 I'll certainly do my best.
00:28:33 Oh, don't misunderstand me. My interest is purely personal.
00:28:35 I don't want my men used as a firing squad.
00:28:37 And I certainly don't want to be the Jersey's bloody sabre master shot at fire.
00:28:41 Why you?
00:28:42 Oh, I'm number one on the colonel's sweat list at the moment.
00:28:45 I see.
00:28:46 Well, when it comes to my turn, I'll purge myself of the manner, if you like.
00:28:50 Truth will do.
00:28:51 Good luck, my learned friend.

00:29:55 873426, private house.
00:30:00 Sir!
00:30:01 Did you stack your name and number?
00:30:03 Yes, sir.
00:30:04 Mr. Prescott, would you pass me that?
00:30:06 The accused, number 873426, private Hamp, Arthur James, soldier of the regular forces.
00:30:15 You're charged with, when on active service, attempting to desert his majesty's service.
00:30:23 In that you absented yourself from duty without orders from your superior officer.
00:30:27 For approximately 0700 hours on October the 10th this year, at a place called Jackdaw Tunnel.
00:30:34 Until October the 11th of this year, when you were arrested by the military police near Calais.
00:30:39 Guilty or not guilty?
00:30:41 Not guilty, sir.
00:30:43 Speed up!
00:30:44 Not guilty, sir.
00:30:46 Very well.
00:30:48 I have to ask you if you object to any members of the court.
00:30:51 Myself, or either of these two officers.
00:30:55 I'm surprised, sir, that as convening officer you're also president of the court martial.
00:30:59 There are no other field officers available, Captain Hargraves.
00:31:02 I must appoint myself.
00:31:03 Are you making a formal objection?
00:31:05 No, sir.
00:31:07 May I stand at ease, private Hamp?
00:31:09 I've, uh, I've spoken to Captain Mildred, and we've agreed that I won't dispute the facts of the case.
00:31:14 So all the witnesses will be called by the defense.
00:31:16 Good. That will save the court's time.
00:31:22 I submit that the prisoner absented himself at a time when because of his mental health, he was not fully responsible for his actions.
00:31:29 Mental health, Captain Hargraves?
00:31:31 Do you mean that the prisoner is lunatic?
00:31:33 No, sir.
00:31:34 Or mentally deficient?
00:31:35 No, sir.
00:31:36 There must be hundreds of thousands of men who are in an unhappy mental state, but who have not absented themselves from their duty.
00:31:45 I realize that, sir, fully. I assure you.
00:31:48 Are you ready for your first witness?
00:31:51 Yes, sir.
00:31:52 Call Corporal Hamilton.
00:31:57 Corporal Hamilton!
00:31:58 Sir!
00:31:59 Out!
00:32:03 Hold the book in your right hand.
00:32:07 I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
00:32:13 I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
00:32:19 Corporal Hamilton, I believe that you apprehended the prisoner.
00:32:21 Yes, sir.
00:32:22 What did he say to you?
00:32:23 Not much, sir. Only...
00:32:25 Well, he tried to tell us he was going on leave, of course.
00:32:29 Yes. A soldier going on leave is required to carry with him a full pack and equipment, is he not?
00:32:34 Yes, sir.
00:32:35 And the prisoner was carrying?
00:32:37 Gas helmet, rifle, and bandolier, sir.
00:32:40 Wouldn't have stood very much chance of getting on board a leave ship in that gear, would he?
00:32:43 No, sir.
00:32:44 Rather a silly story, wasn't it?
00:32:46 Yes, sir.
00:32:48 And how do you account for it?
00:32:50 Well, sir, he could have, for all I know, he could have been just stupid.
00:32:56 (indistinct chatter)
00:32:58 Gives us a day off, though, doesn't it?
00:33:23 (indistinct chatter)
00:33:25 (yelping)
00:33:33 I'm not going up to the front and leave that bloody bastard behind me alive!
00:33:46 Come on! Bloody, bloody bastard!
00:33:50 Come on, let him go!
00:33:51 Execute him!
00:33:52 Execute him!
00:33:53 Everybody!
00:33:54 Corporal Hamilton, I presume that during the course of your duty you have arrested other deserters,
00:34:02 other men who have absented themselves from service.
00:34:05 Yes, sir. Quite a few, sir.
00:34:07 Did any of them behave in the same way as this prisoner?
00:34:09 Much the same, sir.
00:34:11 In particular, did some of them, to use your own words,
00:34:13 did some of them appear to you to be stupid or behaving as if in a daze?
00:34:17 Yes, sir. I suppose so.
00:34:20 In short, was there anything remarkable or extraordinary about this prisoner compared with others?
00:34:25 I mean, if there had been something extraordinary, you would have thought about it, wouldn't you?
00:34:30 The thing that surprised me, sir, was how he got so far as us.
00:34:34 By rights, he shouldn't have had a hope.
00:34:37 He must have been through places thicker with patrols, like Popper Inge and that.
00:34:42 Perhaps he wasn't quite as simple as he seemed.
00:34:44 No, sir, I didn't mean...
00:34:45 After all, he did get very close to an embarkation point, didn't he?
00:34:49 That's all, corporal. No more questions. Thank you, sir.
00:34:52 Look at that. There must be dozens of them in there.
00:35:08 And two full. They'll be nippy.
00:35:11 Shall I jump on him?
00:35:12 No.
00:35:14 [Suspenseful music]
00:35:16 Right.
00:35:27 When I say now, jump the belly.
00:35:31 Now!
00:35:33 [Screaming]
00:35:41 Mr. Solomon, do you remember the prisoner reporting sick to you on or about October the 8th of this year?
00:35:46 On the 7th, yes. I looked it up.
00:35:48 And what did he complain?
00:35:50 I remember quite clearly. He complained of nerves.
00:35:56 Nerves. He didn't tell you that he was finding it impossible to sleep?
00:36:01 He may have. Yes, I believe he did.
00:36:03 But you didn't take this very seriously?
00:36:05 No. It's not uncommon. It certainly isn't uncommon for me to be told such things.
00:36:10 You mean you didn't believe him?
00:36:12 No, I didn't say that.
00:36:14 Every medical officer hears this kind of thing five or six times a day.
00:36:17 Did you believe this man?
00:36:19 No.
00:36:22 Why not?
00:36:24 Seems a permissible question.
00:36:27 Why not?
00:36:28 Why didn't you believe him when he said he couldn't sleep?
00:36:30 I didn't say I didn't believe that.
00:36:32 Very well.
00:36:34 What other symptoms did he complain?
00:36:37 I said he was off food. I said he was feeling a bit shaky.
00:36:40 Shaky. Uncontrollable bouts of trembling?
00:36:43 I don't know about uncontrollable.
00:36:46 You don't know about it, but did you bother to find out?
00:36:49 Are you challenging my competence?
00:36:51 I don't want to interfere with your defence, Captain Hargraves, but must you attack the witness?
00:36:55 It's not Captain O'Sullivan's competence which is at stake, sir. It's this man's life.
00:37:00 You said you didn't believe him.
00:37:03 What didn't you believe?
00:37:05 Oh, damn it, Charlie. I knew what he was after.
00:37:07 Did this man lie to you? And if so, what did he say?
00:37:09 I knew what he wanted. To be sent down the line.
00:37:12 Did he say so?
00:37:14 Did he what?
00:37:15 Did he ask to be relieved from duty?
00:37:17 Not in so many words. Of course he didn't.
00:37:20 And, er, how long did this interview last for them?
00:37:31 Five minutes, ten minutes.
00:37:33 And after that you lost interest in the man?
00:37:35 What do you expect me to do? I haven't got time for everyone's emotional problems.
00:37:39 But you were sure that an interview of five or ten minutes was sufficient for this case?
00:37:44 Yes.
00:37:45 Why were you so sure?
00:37:47 Experience. My own judgement, of course. Experience.
00:37:51 And you usually prescribe the same treatment?
00:37:59 More or less. More or less.
00:38:02 Laxative pills.
00:38:03 A good clean-up never hurt anybody.
00:38:05 Is that the only relief you can offer a man? Laxative pills?
00:38:08 I'll prescribe one for you in a minute.
00:38:10 Captain O'Sullivan, were laxative pills in the slightest degree relevant to what was wrong with this man?
00:38:17 There was nothing wrong with him. And I told him so.
00:38:20 Did you? What did you say?
00:38:22 I talked to him man to man.
00:38:24 I told him he wasn't the first soldier to feel a bit jumpy.
00:38:28 I told him he'd be all right, back to normal.
00:38:31 Told him to try to eat, try to get some sleep.
00:38:34 What else could I say? I told him to pull himself together.
00:38:38 Has the incidence of medical faults of this sort been growing recently?
00:38:41 I haven't got time for statistics.
00:38:44 Or diagnoses, it seems.
00:38:45 No, no, no.
00:38:47 What are the symptoms of shell shock?
00:38:57 Shell shock is a different matter altogether.
00:39:00 Is there an exact moment in the life of a soldier before which he is not suffering from shell shock and after which he is?
00:39:06 An exact boundary about which no two doctors will ever disagree?
00:39:11 An exact boundary on the one side of which a man is required by army law to pull himself together,
00:39:18 or on the other he cannot?
00:39:20 Is liable to be shot as a criminal, is there?
00:39:23 This has nothing whatsoever to do with what we're all here for!
00:39:27 I must say, Captain Hargraves, I agree with that.
00:39:30 Do you, sir?
00:39:31 Then what are we here for?
00:39:34 A mock trial!
00:39:36 That remark's entirely improper, Captain Hargraves.
00:39:40 I apologize, sir.
00:39:46 Proceed.
00:39:55 Does the term "shell shock" have an exact medical meaning?
00:40:01 Yes, of course it has.
00:40:03 And a five or ten minute examination is quite sufficient time in your estimation
00:40:08 to judge whether a man is or is not suffering from shell shock.
00:40:11 It is not my job to maintain a bedroom!
00:40:14 God knows you of all people should realize I've got no time for such rubbish!
00:40:18 You expect me to leave wounded soldiers to die while I cross-question cowards?
00:40:23 What I'm asking is, is there not a borderline...
00:40:27 This was not a borderline case of anything! How many times do I have to tell you?
00:40:31 This was a case of cold feet!
00:40:33 Funk, miserable funk! Nothing more or less!
00:40:36 Are you sure?
00:40:38 Yes!
00:40:39 I ask you most earnestly,
00:40:53 are you absolutely sure?
00:40:55 How could a man responsible for his actions
00:41:00 do such a hopeless, desperately stupid thing as this man?
00:41:06 When they found him, he was trying to walk home to England.
00:41:13 He might just as well have tried to clear a German trench single-handed.
00:41:18 Is it not obvious to you that this man had lost possession of himself?
00:41:32 A major point, Captain Hargraves.
00:41:38 Have you any more questions for Captain O'Sullivan?
00:41:40 No, sir.
00:41:44 Captain Midgley.
00:41:45 Yes, sir, if you please.
00:41:46 Captain O'Sullivan, have any of the defending officers' questions altered the conclusion you came to about the prisoner when he reported to you on October the 7th?
00:41:54 No, not in the slightest.
00:41:56 In view of the speculation we have heard, will you now tell the court in your own words what that conclusion was?
00:42:03 No, sir.
00:42:05 No, not in the slightest.
00:42:06 In view of the speculation we have heard, will you now tell the court in your own words what that conclusion was?
00:42:13 Yes.
00:42:14 I found the prisoner fit for duty, provided he was kept under discipline and discouraged from malingering.
00:42:19 And there's nothing you wish to add to your judgment now by way of qualification?
00:42:24 Nothing whatever.
00:42:25 He's prudently right, hasn't he, and that's all there is to say about it.
00:42:29 He did turn and run, didn't he?
00:42:32 Thank you, Captain O'Sullivan.
00:42:35 [music]
00:42:41 Were you in the area between our billet and the cookhouse at 1500 hours today?
00:42:45 Yes, he admits he was in the area between our billet and the cookhouse at 1500 hours today.
00:42:51 Right.
00:42:52 Did you or did you not call up the private sparrow and take a bite out of his earhole?
00:43:00 No, we did not call up the private sparrow and take a bite out of his earhole.
00:43:04 Right, and one last question.
00:43:06 If you had been in our billet today, would you have done a thing like that?
00:43:10 No, he's not that sort of rat.
00:43:14 Captain Minsley, would you like to cross-examine the accused?
00:43:28 You've been telling a lot of bloody lies, haven't you?
00:43:31 No, no, I haven't been telling a lot of bloody lies.
00:43:38 You're just an ordinary rat who only eats dead flesh, hmm?
00:43:43 Hmm, I'm just a normal rat.
00:43:47 Well then, if you're just a normal rat who only eats dead flesh, why?
00:43:54 When all the other rats were coming out of the front end, what were you doing coming out of the back end? Hmm?
00:44:01 He's crying.
00:44:06 Ahh.
00:44:08 And after that, his nerve had gone.
00:44:13 Absolutely.
00:44:14 I imagine that there were others of your men in a similar condition at that time, were there not?
00:44:19 Well, he must have been in a worse way than the others, sir.
00:44:23 We don't know that he was in any worse condition than his comrades.
00:44:25 We only know what he decided to do about it.
00:44:27 With respect, sir, he did not decide to do it.
00:44:30 If you'll let me carry on.
00:44:32 Continue.
00:44:33 Was the prisoner popular in his platoon?
00:44:35 Oh yes, he always shared anything he had.
00:44:38 And he's the nearest we've got left now to a founder member, of course.
00:44:42 And he...
00:44:44 Yes?
00:44:46 Well, I was just going to say...
00:44:49 I don't suppose it matters, but...
00:44:50 He brewed a damn good cup of tea.
00:44:53 Was he a good soldier before this happened?
00:44:59 First class.
00:45:00 Fair enough.
00:45:02 Not a born soldier, but first class.
00:45:04 And you were surprised when you heard that he'd absconded?
00:45:07 Oh yes, I was.
00:45:08 From what you know of him, do you believe that he'd have to be a little unhinged to do what he did?
00:45:13 Yes.
00:45:16 I do.
00:45:17 Thank you.
00:45:19 No more questions, sir.
00:45:20 Captain Midgley?
00:45:21 First class soldier.
00:45:22 Yes.
00:45:23 His record is singularly blank.
00:45:24 Neither good nor bad.
00:45:26 His principal talent as a soldier seems to be in staying alive.
00:45:30 But...
00:45:32 Surely we're not trying a man for staying alive, are we?
00:45:34 The war hasn't got to that stage, has it?
00:45:36 Mr Webb!
00:45:37 Hargrave's here.
00:45:38 He's a sole survivor of an assault on the sun.
00:45:40 They didn't try him for that.
00:45:42 You confine yourself to answering the questions, Mr Webb.
00:45:45 I beg your pardon, sir.
00:45:47 Mr Webb, about this mental unhinging, did you see any actual sign of it yourself?
00:45:51 Well, it depends.
00:45:53 I mean, if you had, it surely would have been your duty to see that something was done about it, wouldn't it?
00:45:57 Did the idea occur to you before he went absent?
00:46:01 No, but he could have been ill in his mind, even if I didn't see it beforehand.
00:46:08 And you offer any evidence that he was?
00:46:11 He'd had a bad time.
00:46:14 Well, I mean, I don't blame him. We all get the wind up sometimes.
00:46:17 I'd much prefer a man to vote beforehand rather than crack up under the fire and endanger the whole platoon.
00:46:22 Mr Webb, isn't it true to say, however much we may regret it and however much we may sympathize,
00:46:28 isn't it true to say that this man simply allowed his fear to become his master?
00:46:33 There's more in it than that.
00:46:35 I ask you again.
00:46:38 Can you recall any evidence to support what you say?
00:46:42 I've said what I believe.
00:46:44 Thank you, Mr Webb. No more questions. Thank you, sir.
00:46:48 Very well.
00:46:50 [music]
00:47:19 [yells]
00:47:20 Got it! Got it!
00:47:23 Rocket, bloody back!
00:47:26 It's as though a devil's got hold of me legs, see? He's pulling me down.
00:47:36 I'm not even wounded. I'm not even wounded and I'm going to get drowned in the mud.
00:47:40 Oh, something had it in for me, I knew that.
00:47:44 This idea that the devil was after you, did it stay in your mind after you'd been rescued from the mud?
00:47:51 Not in the same way, sir. No. No.
00:47:53 So it wasn't the devil. Why did you run away?
00:47:57 I didn't run, sir. I walked. I just started walking. I don't know why.
00:48:02 It's not true to say, is it, that you deliberately decided to desert, that you deliberately decided?
00:48:13 And hoped to get away?
00:48:14 I wasn't really thinking about it, sir. No, I know you weren't thinking about it.
00:48:17 I was hoping that you wouldn't get me caught, sir.
00:48:19 But you really weren't, you weren't clearly thinking of anything at the time, were you?
00:48:23 I just wanted to get away from the guns, sir.
00:48:26 Had you any idea where you were going?
00:48:31 No, sir, not really. I just wanted to get left alone for a bit, I thought.
00:48:36 Private Hampton, you say you wanted to be left alone for a bit.
00:48:39 Does that mean that you intended to return to the battalion?
00:48:42 I don't know, sir.
00:48:44 That's because you don't remember anything very clearly, is it?
00:48:47 That's right, sir, yes.
00:48:49 You had no clear plan or reason in your mind, did you?
00:48:53 I just started going, sir. You know, I couldn't help myself.
00:48:57 Like you told me to say, sir, I was acting under extraordinary strain.
00:49:09 All right. I can't think of anything else, sir.
00:49:13 Is it all right if I ask you a question, sir?
00:49:16 Yes, carry on.
00:49:18 Well, I'd sooner you tell him, sir. You know more about it than me.
00:49:22 All right.
00:49:25 Are there any more questions, Captain Hargreaves?
00:49:27 Captain Midgley.
00:49:30 Private Hampton, did you know you were doing wrong when you deserted?
00:49:36 If anybody tried to stop me, I'd have died, sir.
00:49:39 Or didn't you wait to make sure that there was nobody there to stop you?
00:49:42 No. Well, I think I was just lucky, sir.
00:49:45 It's very much a matter of opinion.
00:49:48 Look, what I really want to know is this.
00:49:50 You did know, didn't you, that it was your duty to stay with your battalion?
00:49:55 Yes, sir.
00:49:56 And you must have been very well aware of that all the time that you were absent,
00:50:00 from the first moment that you decided to leave.
00:50:04 I don't know, sir.
00:50:06 You could walk, talk, think, like anybody else.
00:50:10 And you managed to get quite a long way away, didn't you?
00:50:12 Well, like I just said, sir, I was lucky.
00:50:14 Well, let me put this to you quite simply.
00:50:17 Did you know what you were doing?
00:50:19 I knew what I was doing, sir.
00:50:23 And you realized that you were leaving your comrades at their posts
00:50:25 who were prepared to do their duty while you deserted them, didn't you?
00:50:30 Didn't you?
00:50:32 I've never done this before, sir.
00:50:33 This was the first time.
00:50:35 No more questions, sir.
00:50:41 That'll do, Private Hampton.
00:50:43 Captain Hargase, will you address the court now on the prisoner's behalf?
00:50:56 No, sir.
00:50:57 I will address the court on its behalf.
00:51:01 The prisoner, when he did the thing for which he's being tried,
00:51:06 was no longer responsible for his actions.
00:51:08 This court is responsible for its actions.
00:51:11 It has not lost possession of itself.
00:51:13 This court knows clearly what it's doing.
00:51:15 This court has the power to choose.
00:51:24 Private Hampton is not a liar.
00:51:27 He's not glib. He has no ready answers.
00:51:29 He has an embarrassing honesty which made him a bad witness in his own case.
00:51:33 He could have put a bullet through his leg and suffered nothing more serious than a term for imprisonment.
00:51:38 He even told me that he thought of doing so.
00:51:41 But he didn't.
00:51:43 He stayed.
00:51:45 A deserter in full consciousness of what he's doing
00:51:50 runs away to save his own skin
00:51:53 and leaves his fellows to do the fighting and the dying for him.
00:51:56 This man is not a deserter.
00:51:59 He volunteered.
00:52:01 He volunteered because his wife and her mother dared him to.
00:52:06 Never mind. He volunteered.
00:52:09 He's been out here for three years, longer if I may say so, than some of us have been.
00:52:14 He's seen it all.
00:52:16 A man can only take so much.
00:52:20 So much blood.
00:52:22 So much filth.
00:52:24 So much dying.
00:52:27 In the show hole, he thought he was drowning in the mud.
00:52:30 He thought his time had come and it had.
00:52:33 After that, he was no longer responsible for his actions.
00:52:36 He hadn't got the power to decide whether to stay or to go.
00:52:41 He had one instinct only left.
00:52:44 The instinct to walk.
00:52:46 To walk home.
00:52:48 To walk away from the guns.
00:52:52 They've become a fact of our daily lives.
00:52:55 So much so that we no longer ask each other why they're being fired.
00:53:01 Is this war so old?
00:53:03 And are we so old in it?
00:53:06 That we've forgotten?
00:53:09 Are we not fighting to preserve some notion of decency?
00:53:15 Some notion of justice?
00:53:18 To preserve for this court the right to choose?
00:53:31 I beg to remind the court that if justice is not done to one man,
00:53:36 then other men are dying for nothing.
00:53:41 Matter of opinion.
00:53:44 I'm not going to be a judge.
00:53:47 I'm not going to be a judge.
00:53:50 I'm not going to be a judge.
00:53:53 I'm not going to be a judge.
00:53:56 I'm not going to be a judge.
00:53:59 I'm not going to be a judge.
00:54:02 I'm not going to be a judge.
00:54:05 I'm not going to be a judge.
00:54:08 Matter of opinion.
00:54:11 Mr. Prescott, you as our legal member advise the court on the law.
00:54:20 Advise for this case.
00:54:23 The court will remember that this soldier takes the law of England with him wherever he goes.
00:54:31 And he is protected by it.
00:54:33 The accused does not have to prove himself innocent.
00:54:36 The prosecution must prove him guilty.
00:54:39 And if the members of the court have any reasonable doubt,
00:54:42 but it mustn't be a fanciful doubt,
00:54:45 they must give him the benefit of it.
00:54:48 You've had before you the opinion of a Italian medical officer,
00:54:50 which is that at the time the prisoner left the battalion,
00:54:53 he was fit for duty and was not shell-shocked,
00:54:56 but only suffering from what the doctor described as cold feet.
00:55:01 You mustn't be unduly swayed by the eloquence of the defending officer,
00:55:06 who has quite properly made out the best case he can.
00:55:09 If you doubt that the prisoner really meant to desert,
00:55:12 and you believe that he merely went absent without leave
00:55:15 and intended to return after a few days,
00:55:17 you will give a verdict accordingly.
00:55:19 On the other hand, if you are satisfied that the prisoner really deserted,
00:55:23 it is your duty to find him guilty.
00:55:27 As to the stress the defending officer laid upon the prisoner being a volunteer,
00:55:32 neither must you be unduly swayed by that.
00:55:35 The army is now composed of regulars, of volunteers, and of conscripts,
00:55:40 and one law applies to them all.
00:55:43 And it is the court's duty to administer the law as it stands.
00:55:53 Proceed immediately to our discussion of the case.
00:55:57 - Sir! - Captain Hargraves.
00:56:00 Escort for the rival prisoner!
00:56:07 - Prisoners, escort! - Turn!
00:56:10 - Quick march! - Left we go!
00:56:12 Left, right, left, right, left!
00:56:16 (Helicopter blades whirring)
00:56:19 Thanks for cutting my throat, old boy.
00:56:31 You were overdoing it. I couldn't help it.
00:56:33 I thought there was a great deal in what you said.
00:56:36 Thank you. You did very well, Hargraves. I hope you got him off.
00:56:39 I hope so, too.
00:56:40 But you know a proper court is concerned with law.
00:56:43 It's a bit amateur to plead for justice.
00:56:46 What do you want now, then?
00:56:57 Have you seen my rifle, Cor?
00:57:00 Why would you be wanting that?
00:57:02 Well, I just thought I might give it a clean, you know.
00:57:06 Something to do.
00:57:09 (Chuckles)
00:57:11 It won't be the court-martial. It could be anybody, you know.
00:57:15 I kept forgetting who was talking about me.
00:57:18 Our old Mr Hargraves, he gave him a lovely speech.
00:57:22 "This man is not a deserter."
00:57:25 Well...
00:57:31 You've been twice since you got back.
00:57:33 It's not my fault, is it?
00:57:35 - Right, guards! - Come, Cor!
00:57:38 - Retreat! - Right, Will!
00:57:41 Help yourself, Mr Morris.
00:57:49 Stand easy, Mr Prescott.
00:57:54 Mr Morris wishes to know whether we can find the prisoner guilty
00:57:58 and recommend mercy.
00:58:00 Well, yes, sir, you may.
00:58:02 And you may either confirm the sentence yourself
00:58:05 or send it to higher authority for confirmation.
00:58:08 - I see. - Mr Prescott.
00:58:10 - Never mind. - Thank you.
00:58:12 Would you help Captain Cartwright prepare a finding?
00:58:15 Guilty of desertion, but emphasise good conduct,
00:58:19 length of service, that kind of thing.
00:58:21 But don't put in anything about mental health.
00:58:23 They're not interested in that sort of thing at headquarters.
00:58:26 When you've finished, have it read to the prisoner
00:58:28 and then send it off for confirmation.
00:58:30 Right, gentlemen.
00:58:32 Won't know anything for a bit yet.
00:58:55 - Got to go to the generals. - It'll be a week.
00:58:58 They'll be pinned down in Paris, you know.
00:59:00 What's Ham thinking, I wonder?
00:59:02 If he's got any sense, he's not thinking.
00:59:04 Whatever happens, he's not going up the line again.
00:59:06 You know what he said when he got back?
00:59:08 "They're taking a lot of trouble over me."
00:59:10 - He was bloody honoured, he does. - He is.
00:59:12 They're taking 24 hours to kill him.
00:59:14 - Jerry wouldn't take that long. - He'll get the gloves, Hans.
00:59:17 (FOOTSTEPS)
00:59:19 - Captain Hargreaves, sir. - Yes?
00:59:36 I don't know whether it's allowed, sir, but he says he'd like to see you.
00:59:39 - Who? - Private Hamps.
00:59:42 Would that be legal, Mr Prescott?
00:59:46 Well, I'm afraid it'd be highly irregular, sir.
00:59:48 It would be kind.
00:59:50 All right, I'm coming.
00:59:54 Yes, messages for the colonel, sir.
01:00:09 I see. Come with me.
01:00:11 Come with me.
01:00:13 - Excuse me, sir. Message, sir. - Ah, thank you, Mr Webb.
01:00:20 Go and get yourself something to eat, corporal.
01:00:26 Thank you, sir.
01:00:28 Gentlemen, your attention, please.
01:00:36 The battalion will be moving into the line tomorrow morning at 0600 hours.
01:00:40 We'll be reinforcing a battalion of the Munster Fusiliers.
01:00:43 Captain Cartwright, would you ask all company commanders
01:00:46 to come to my billet after dinner at, er, 2000 hours?
01:00:49 - Right, sir. - Thank you, gentlemen.
01:00:51 Thank you, gentlemen.
01:00:54 ( sighs )
01:00:56 ( footsteps )
01:00:59 ( thunder )
01:01:01 ( thunder )
01:01:04 ( thunder )
01:01:31 Wilhelm?
01:01:33 Stand easy.
01:01:40 Er...
01:01:44 It's just that I'd like to thank you, sir.
01:01:47 Er, in case, er...
01:01:49 Well, you know, I expect I'll get put in military prison, you know, and, er...
01:01:54 In case I don't see you for a while.
01:02:00 Well, we, er...
01:02:02 We don't know where you'll be put...
01:02:04 if you're put anywhere.
01:02:06 Well, anyway, sir, I would like to miss thanking you.
01:02:10 You've taught me a lot of things, sir, and I'm very grateful.
01:02:14 Well...
01:02:17 Rather too late, I fear.
01:02:20 All right, thank you.
01:02:29 You, er...
01:02:31 You haven't heard anything, have you, sir?
01:02:33 No.
01:02:35 I mean, after what you said, I couldn't help but, er...
01:02:38 Well, it was the truth.
01:02:41 That's what I'm trying to say.
01:02:43 Nearly everything you said, I could never have said.
01:02:45 Do you know what I mean, sir?
01:02:47 - It was my duty to say it. - I don't know about that, sir.
01:02:50 It was my duty.
01:02:52 If you'd remembered your duty,
01:02:54 none of this idiotic rigmarole would have been necessary.
01:02:58 Now, don't you get that into your head.
01:03:00 Don't thank me for doing my duty.
01:03:04 I had to.
01:03:06 Just as you should have done yours.
01:03:10 Yes, sir.
01:03:25 It's not as if I haven't thought about it, sir.
01:03:28 I have.
01:03:30 I know what they could do to me.
01:03:32 It's just that, sir...
01:03:35 I wouldn't be thinking I stood a chance if it hadn't been for you.
01:03:39 Prisoner, at attention!
01:03:45 With your permission, sir.
01:03:49 Private Hamp, age eight.
01:03:54 Number 873426.
01:03:57 It is my duty to inform you that the general officer commanding-in-chief
01:04:02 has confirmed the sentence passed on you by the field general, Court-Marshal.
01:04:06 You will suffer death by shooting
01:04:11 on Thursday, October the 22nd, at 0530 hours.
01:04:15 When's that, sir?
01:04:17 Tomorrow.
01:04:32 Tomorrow?
01:04:35 Tomorrow.
01:04:37 Tomorrow.
01:04:39 [water dripping]

01:05:41 [water dripping]
01:05:43 [water dripping]
01:06:12 More wine, Miss Lee?
01:06:14 No, thank you, sir.
01:06:16 Would you excuse me now, sir?
01:06:17 Yes, of course.
01:06:18 Thank you, sir.
01:06:41 Some haig over there.
01:06:43 Pure chlorine.
01:07:03 I'll pick up on the sense.
01:07:06 [clinking]
01:07:08 A short-off ceremony, aren't we?
01:07:34 [thunder]
01:07:36 Yes, sir.
01:07:41 I had too much of that today.
01:07:43 You know the verdict?
01:07:47 Just now.
01:07:51 You've lost.
01:07:54 [thunder]
01:08:00 We all lost.
01:08:03 [thunder]
01:08:05 We're bloody murderers.
01:08:09 Don't be idiotic, Charles.
01:08:11 Pull yourself together.
01:08:13 Pull yourself together, pull yourself together.
01:08:15 That's what they said to him today.
01:08:17 Pull yourself together?
01:08:19 You're talking like the bloody doctor.
01:08:21 Aren't we rather overstepping?
01:08:23 You're all right.
01:08:25 I'm sorry.
01:08:31 [thunder]
01:08:33 But, uh, why?
01:08:43 [sniff]
01:08:44 Hmm?
01:08:46 Actually, why?
01:08:48 Why?
01:08:50 Hmm.
01:08:51 I mean, was it O'Sullivan's evidence?
01:08:53 Oh, he's an idiot.
01:08:58 Was it my offense?
01:09:00 I did my best.
01:09:04 Very eloquent, Charles.
01:09:06 But nothing to do with the facts.
01:09:08 Facts, facts, facts.
01:09:10 Don't shoot that poor little bastard simply because he went for a walk.
01:09:14 That's what it was, you know.
01:09:17 It was a technical desertion, but it's just a...
01:09:21 a bloody little walk, really.
01:09:23 And you know it.
01:09:28 [swoosh]
01:09:30 Don't show.
01:09:33 These facts.
01:09:35 The Orbitallion moving up tomorrow.
01:09:38 Important to maintain morale.
01:09:40 Sentence of death to be carried out immediately.
01:09:43 Oh, my God.
01:09:47 Poor encorajero's out, sir.
01:09:56 Has it ever encouraged anyone?
01:09:58 Discouraged anyone?
01:10:00 Of course it has.
01:10:03 [chuckles]
01:10:05 [sighs]
01:10:06 You sure?
01:10:08 No, not quite.
01:10:12 [swoosh]
01:10:14 [thunder]
01:10:22 Who's in charge tomorrow?
01:10:33 Jack Webb.
01:10:36 His man, his platoon, his mistake.
01:10:38 Teach him a lesson.
01:10:40 I'm sorry, I've, uh, I've written an extra kin letter.
01:10:43 Would you mind giving it to Webb as you go out?
01:10:46 [thunder]
01:10:49 There's a porpoise close behind me.
01:11:10 And it's treading on my tail.
01:11:12 Huh?
01:11:15 Facts.
01:11:17 When I'm buried and all my thoughts and acts will be reduced to lists of dates and facts,
01:11:24 and long before this wandering flesh is rotten,
01:11:28 the dates which made me will be all forgotten.
01:11:38 [thud]
01:11:40 [music]
01:11:43 Hump!
01:11:57 Hump!
01:12:00 Is that you, Cole?
01:12:03 Aye.
01:12:04 Now listen up.
01:12:06 Wilson and your lot, they've been nicking some room.
01:12:09 Huh?
01:12:10 Aye.
01:12:11 We've, uh, got some of the good stuff on our mate, uh,
01:12:14 thinking of how to booze up tonight, you know.
01:12:17 Well, I thought you were bringing it.
01:12:19 No.
01:12:20 Well, where's the rest of them?
01:12:21 Coming.
01:12:22 You getting to travel?
01:12:24 Nah, dull with a man.
01:12:26 How are you?
01:12:28 All right.
01:12:29 [chatter]
01:12:31 Shut the door.
01:12:33 [chatter]
01:12:35 What's this for then? Somebody's birthday?

01:13:16 Is he very religious?
01:13:36 I don't think so.
01:13:38 Official C of E, but...
01:13:40 You'll be staying with him right through the night?
01:13:42 Of course, if he's willing.
01:13:44 Yes, well, I've laid on, uh, something which
01:13:47 might prove just as useful.
01:13:49 How does the idea strike you?
01:13:51 It's not for me to say.
01:13:54 Well, I've spoken to the C.O.
01:13:56 It's left to his discretion, and he's left it to me.
01:13:59 [laughter]
01:14:06 So...
01:14:07 [laughter]
01:14:08 So...
01:14:09 He said...
01:14:10 He said, "That man in bed with my wife...
01:14:14 was me."
01:14:15 [laughter]
01:14:17 Was me.
01:14:21 [laughter]
01:14:23 Hey, hey.
01:14:32 Hey.
01:14:33 There is no disgrace.
01:14:35 No disgrace at all.
01:14:38 [laughter]
01:14:40 You today, gone tomorrow.
01:14:42 It doesn't matter who kills you, does it?
01:14:45 Well, you know you.
01:14:48 You've lived a long life, and...
01:14:51 And you do.
01:14:53 You rot in the mud, and that's that.
01:14:57 Doesn't matter what anyone bloody well thinks about it, does it?
01:15:01 Hey.
01:15:03 We're all moving up soon.
01:15:06 Hmm?
01:15:07 Maybe in the same boat as you are.
01:15:09 We'll all be rightful before long.
01:15:13 Last drink in bottle.
01:15:20 Who's gonna get it?
01:15:22 [laughter]
01:15:26 You'd think I was entitled to it.
01:15:28 [laughter]
01:15:31 [chatter]
01:15:33 Selfie.
01:15:40 Selfie.
01:15:41 [laughter]
01:15:43 [laughter]
01:15:47 Hey, wait.

01:16:16 Hey.
01:16:21 Look out, the Padre.
01:16:23 Come on.
01:16:26 [footsteps]
01:16:28 Give me the...
01:16:44 Get out of here.
01:16:45 Here, open it up.
01:16:54 [water splashing]
01:16:56 Where are you, you bastards?
01:17:07 Come on, come on.
01:17:12 [laughter]
01:17:21 [laughter]
01:17:24 Will you let me try to help you?
01:17:37 Do you want to talk to me?
01:17:41 God decides when it's our turn to be taken to him.
01:17:49 Will you be absolved of your sins?
01:17:51 My sins?
01:17:54 My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord,
01:17:59 nor faint when thou are tribute to him.
01:18:01 For whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth,
01:18:05 and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
01:18:08 Our Lord Jesus Christ, who has left power to his church
01:18:12 to absolve all sinners who truly repent
01:18:15 and believe in him of his great mercy,
01:18:17 forgives thee thine offenses.
01:18:19 And by his authority committed to me,
01:18:22 I absolve thee from all thy sins.
01:18:25 In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
01:18:29 and of the Holy Ghost.
01:18:31 We do not presume to come to this thy table, O merciful Lord,
01:18:38 trusting in our own righteousness,
01:18:40 but in thy manifold and great mercies.
01:18:43 We are not worthy so much as to gather the crumbs
01:18:46 from under thy table.
01:18:48 But thou art the same Lord
01:18:50 whose property is always to have mercy.
01:18:53 Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord,
01:18:56 so to eat the flesh of thy dear son, Jesus Christ,
01:18:59 and to drink his blood,
01:19:01 that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body,
01:19:05 and our souls washed through his most precious blood,
01:19:09 and that we may evermore dwell in him,
01:19:12 and he in us.
01:19:14 Amen.
01:19:16 (thunder rumbling)
01:19:19 The body of our Lord Jesus Christ,
01:19:27 which was given for thee.
01:19:44 The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ,
01:19:47 which was shed for thee,
01:19:49 preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life.
