Oh! What A Lovely War Page #2

from passing through Belgium.

They've gone into Luxembourg, sir.

The lamps are going out

all over Europe.

We shall not see them lit again

in our lifetime.

Notify Lieutenant Feldmann.

He is to withdraw immediately

from Luxembourg.

To retreat now would be disastrous.

We must go forward.

Very well.

Advance into Luxembourg!

The sword is drawn!

I cannot sheath it again

without victory and honour!

All of you shall and will see to it

that only in honour

is it returned to the scabbard.

Let every man look into his own heart

and his own feelings

and construe for himself

the extent of his obligation for himself.

Sir.

They've invaded Belgium.

Now you'll have to go to war.

You're wanted at headquarters, sir.

Your Majesty.

General's brigade, march!

We do not see any reason,

however distant, for a conflict.

May I beg Your Excellency

to express to His Majesty

my profound gratitude for all the

marks of friendship and consideration

which I have received

in the last eight months.

And assure him of the profound respect

of His Majesty the King,

who regards His Majesty

with deep veneration

and expresses the hope

that the most regrettable state of war

between Great Britain and the monarchy

may be of no long duration.

I am extremely perturbed at the thought

that we should find ourselves at conflict

with England

since the two countries

are so near to one another

politically and morally, with

traditional sympathies and interests.

Allow me to share your hope

that the present,

most unfortunate state of war

will be of no long duration

and that normal relations

will shortly be resumed.

Mum, a band! A band!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Coming.

Grandpa, look! It's a band!

Mummy! Mummy! Mummy!

By the centre, quick march!

Ha'penny won'th of chips, please.

Oh, I do like to live beside the seaside

I do like to be beside the sea

- Good morning, Sir Douglas.

- Good morning, Miss Bates.

Oh, I do like to see a lot of soldiers

Oh, soldiers are what I like to see

And if they've got a sword and horse

Then I like them more, of course

Because I just love the cavalry

Oh, I do like to live beside the seaside

I do like to be beside the sea

Oh I do like to stroll

along the prom prom prom

Where the brass bands play

tiddley-om-pom-pom

Right. Come along, then.

First man, please.

Brownley, Cecil. One, please.

Thank you very much.

- Lang, Mary.

- Thank you.

Take her, love.

Smith, Florence Victoria.

Smith, Jack Henry.

Smith, Mary Emma. Thank you.

Smith, Harry Arnold.

Smith, Elizabeth May.

Smith, George Patrick Michael.

Wilson, Rose.

Smith, Frederick Percy.

Smith, Dickie.

I beg your pardon, sir. Richard.
