00:00Gentlemen, I'm afraid we have some bad news.

00:08The position is extremely grave.

00:10In a few hours, the enemy may be here, so we haven't much time.

00:16And Macallan, you'll mount guards and be ready to destroy all equipment in the event of a

00:19surprise attack.

00:20Very good, sir.

00:21Ledoux?

00:22Sir?

00:23You'll be responsible for seeing that all papers, except those in B and C files, are

00:28destroyed.

00:29Before I explain the position to the men, there's something else.

00:34It's about our colors.

00:36If we are forced to capitulate, the Germans will demand that all regimental standards

00:40be surrendered to them.

00:42As you know, there are some names on ours.

00:45Pretty good names.

00:46In the last few weeks, there have been others which ought to stand beside them, but they

00:51never will.

00:55I suppose I'm the only one here who was present when we first received our colors.

00:59They were given to us by the late King Albert.

01:04There is, of course, no question of handing them over, and the high command of order is

01:08that they shall be destroyed.

01:11Gentlemen, I've always carried out orders without question, and I shall do so now.

01:20That's all I have to say.

01:22Those of you having no other duties will please parade in half an hour.

01:31It's getting light already.

01:34Nearly time for you to go.

01:39I want to cry, but there are no tears left.

01:43It's an ache now.

01:46My throat, my chest, the back of my head.

01:52But you're going to believe, aren't you?

01:54In dreams?

01:55No, in me, that I shall come back.

01:58The things that are happening are so horrible, Fanon.

02:01Only the dreams seem real.

02:03I keep feeling it's only true for the rest of the world, not for me.

02:07I tell myself nothing can stop us being together.

02:11But I know in my heart we shall never see each other again.

02:16But you must stop thinking like that.

02:18I shall find some way to come back to you, I promise you.
