Who's that bloody fool on the grey?
Someone who wants to be noticed,
I should imagine.
He'll be noticed.
He'll get his head blown off.
My Early Life...
...by Winston Spencer Churchill.
On the 16th of September, 1897...
...at the age of 22...
in a punitive expedition...
...of the Malakand Field Force
on the northwest frontier of India.
In a sense, I had arranged for my
participation in this action myself.
August the 5th, 1897.
A letter to General Sir Bindon Blood:
"Sir, I do hope you will not be annoyed
if I remind you...
...that you once promised me that
when you had your next command...
...you would try to find
a place for me. "
"Very difficult. No vacancies.
Come up as a correspondent.
We'll try to fit you in. Blood. "
will lead me...
...to something really exciting,
an adventure I can write about?
That column there?
Or that one? It's all a lottery, isn't it?
Just luck.
God, I hope I'm lucky today.
The jok e of it all is that I never
really wanted to be a soldier.
No. Politics, parliament,
that's my arena.
But how am I to get there?
I have no reputation...
...no family in the government.
And worst of all, no money.
Money. My darling mother wrote to me
often on that tiresome subject:
"Really, Winston, you are simply
irresponsible about money.
I am sending the man
the 11 pounds he asks...
...but why will you write cheques
when you have no money in the bank?
Actually, in America, you know,
it's illegal.
And they sentence people
to long terms in jail for doing it.
My dear, do be careful.
And do write when you can.
Please, please, don't tak e
any unnecessary risks.
Your loving mother,
Jennie Randolph Churchill. "
Who's that bloody fool on the grey?
Can't tell.
Someone who wants to get noticed,
I should imagine.
He'll be noticed.
He'll get his head blown off.
Sir!
Lieutenant Churchill, sir.
4th Hussars.
Actually, I'm here as a correspondent.
Pioneer and Saily Telegraph.
If you're going
to that village up there...
...would you mind awfully
if I came along?
Yes. Churchill, 4th Hussars.
We don't care much for
correspondents out here.
Or white horses, either.
Where'd you get him?
In the auction last week, sir.
Malakand Pass.
- I believe so, yes, sir.
Didn't that teach you anything?
Sir?
Come along if you like.
But keep out of the way.
Thank you very much, sir.
Oh, one more thing.
We do try to bring our wounded back.
These chaps can be very nasty.
But as you're only an onlooker, I can't
guarantee anything. Understood?
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much, sir.
The truth is, I'm not at all brave.
myself a coward, especially at school.
But if I could win a reputation
for courage and daring...
...if I could be mentioned
in despatches...
...that would help me
to get started in politics.
In short, I need medals.
Lots and lots of medals.
And I have to learn so much,
and there's so little time.
I have to read all the books
I should have read before.
I must become my own university.
And I must overcome my speech
impediment when I speak in public.
The Spanish ships
I cannot shee- See.
For they are not in shite- Site.
Samn!
Move it!
Is everybody gone, sir?
All gone, sir.
Very well, then.
- Carry on.
- Carry on!
Number three section, follow me!
Wouldn't you know it?
All this way for nothing.
Right, we'll start back now.
till we get halfway down.
- Then we'll cover you.
