The Road to Glory Page #5

I didn't understand but I do now.

This company has a record of

services such as I never dreamed.

I'm very proud to be with you.

Thanks.

Come on, get going.

Keep moving. Come on.

Come on, come on.

Here's the relief company.

Close it up, men.

Keep going.

Close it up, men.

What's going on up there?

- You'll find out soon.

Quiet up there. Keep moving.

I don't know how they're going

to set it off but...

...I'm afraid it won't be long.

I left you with a wounded

man on the wire...

...and you leave me a mine to sit on.

- Good luck.

How many were there?

Two platoons, sir.

All right, come on.

Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

Hello, Sergeant.

- Hello.

Captain LaRoche, is he all right?

- He's all right.

They'll never get him.

Why bullets curve

around him like that.

He's sleeping.

I can't, no.

No, I can't.

Sergeant.

Yes, miss.

He's sleeping now and I've

to get back to the hospital.

Don't disturb him unless

you have to, will you?

Don't you worry, miss.

I'll let him sleep.

Thanks.

Good morning, Sergeant.

Good morning, sir.

- Sit down.

What time is it?

It's just six o'clock, sir.

Six o'clock? Then it's good evening.

Yes, sir, good evening.

Sergeant, where is...

...the hospital in this town, you

know, where the nurses are?

That's in a church, sir,

on the other...

I was afraid you might be

reading something trashy.

No, sir, just keeping

up with civilian affairs.

Just refreshing your memory?

Yes, sir.

Where'd you say the hospital is?

It's in a church, at

the east side of town.

Order me a motorcycle

side-car, will you?

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Yeah?

Will you be finished

with my book soon?

I don't know, Regnier,

it's difficult to say.

To tell the truth, I find I've

to struggle constantly...

...to retain a certain

human quality in myself.

But I might turn into a man

of steel and gun-powder...

...a fighting machine without

any weaknesses whatever.

It's a thing I've to go out against

and I find this helps me.

Yes it...

...helps me immensely.

Can I help you, Lieutenant?

I don't know...

...I'm looking for someone.

The name?

I just joined the regiment and

the name has slipped my mind.

You know him if you saw him?

Instantly. He's covered

with a very peculiar rash.

Rash?

We haven't had no rashes in today.

This is an entirely new thing.

It's called trench rash.

It turns off and on like

an electric sign.

I'll browse around and look

for him. I know he's here.

I say, nurse.

Yes?

Is the shave going on all right?

Quite all right, sir.

- Fine, fine.

Hello.

Sorry.

I never expected to see you again.

I've been through trying to find you.

You shouldn't have come.

Why not? Isn't it all right
