01:44waiting for southern command.
01:46Oh, and tell Jenkins to keep his mouth shut, will you?
01:48The men still think they're going home.
01:59Stupid, isn't it, moving for a couple of days?
02:01Yeah.
02:02What's this dump called, anyway?
02:03The sweaty outside said Bow Camp.
02:06Bow Camp? You know what that is, don't you?
02:09That's frog for elephant and castle, that is.
02:12All right for some.
02:14Get them mail as soon as they walk through the door.
02:19Slap by the beds!
02:21Oh, I'll move!
02:25The correct running of this war
02:27depends upon the successful passing on of information.
02:33My name's Connor.
02:36Sergeant Connor.
02:38And it's my job, amongst 15,000 others,
02:41to pass on that information.
02:43So pin your ears back.
02:46Here's the first dollop.
02:49You are now billeted at Bow Camps,
02:51the headquarters of the Royal Guernsey Militia.
02:55So look after it.
02:56They want it back.
02:59And don't think that because you finished your initial training
03:01that you are now entirely familiar with the workings of the Lee Enfield rifle,
03:05the Boy's .55 anti-tank rifle,
03:08and the Vickers .303 medium machine gun.
03:10You are still attached to the 341 machine gun training centre,
03:15and you will continue your training until you are drafted to a machine gun battalion.
03:20All right?
03:22Right.
03:24Point one.
03:25In the course of the next few days,
03:29you will be asked to state your preference with regard to a machine gun battalion.
03:34When you leave here, you'll go to one of the following.
03:36One, the Argyle and Sutherland Islanders.
03:42For them as likes a draft run, as you know what.
03:45Two, the Cheshire Regiment.
03:47Three, the Manchester Regiment.
03:50And four, the Middlesex Regiment.
03:53So think about it.
03:55Point two.
03:57You are now in the tomato grower's paradise.
04:02But if I hear of any one of you nipping into a greenhouse
04:04and half inching as much as one of them,
04:06I'll have the skin off his back.
04:08All right?
04:10Right.
04:12Point three.
04:14This hut will provide one hut orderly each day.
04:18He will be responsible for hut security
04:20and will not leave the hut, except for normal purposes,
04:23during his period of duty.
04:25This hut will also provide one-line picketess per roster.
04:30First picket of three men and one NCO on Thursday night.
04:35So that gives you all two nights to see the town.
04:38There'll be trucks leaving from the company office at six o'clock.
04:41And don't forget,
04:43I'm talking about St Peterport, not Alderney.
04:47There's more than egg and chips here.
04:49Hello.
04:50Somebody's got more than egg and chips there, eh?
04:53All right, all right.
04:53Quiet down.
04:56I want you bright,
04:58clean,
04:59and slightly oiled
05:01before you take a step out of these backs.
05:05And remember, you're wearing the Cheshire Cat badge.
05:08You put as much as one foot wrong,
05:10and the ghost of me Annie will rise up and tear your innards out.
05:14All right?
05:14All right.
05:16Right.
05:18Last point.
05:21Part two orders were posted five minutes ago.
05:24They include the following promotions for last corporal.
05:26Four, one, two, nine, six, one, four.
05:30Addison, G.
05:31Four, one, two, nine, seven, one, one.
05:33Gun, F.
05:34Four, one, two, nine, eight, one, eight.
05:36Ashton, P.
05:37Draw your stripes from the QM stalls,
05:39and I want them sewn on before first parade tomorrow morning, all right?
05:44Hot orderly.
05:45That's from now to 1,800 hours tomorrow.
05:47Three, six, two, eh, Brad?
05:49Ah, Sarge.
05:49I'll all Sarge, you lad.
05:51Ain't yourself bleeding lucky you're not mopping the streets of Warsaw.
05:56Right.
05:59If it has no questions,
06:02hold up!
06:03What's up?
06:21One of them Brillcreen boys pinched your best kill.
06:24It's my brother-in-law.
06:25He's been posted missing, believe killed in France.
06:29Oh, she had her.
06:30Yeah.
06:30See, it could have been worse.
06:33It could have been one of your relations.
06:34Well, it was a...
06:35It is a sort of a relation.
06:37Yeah, I know, but I mean, you know, a proper relation.
06:39It could have been your brother.
06:41Yeah, it could have been my brother.
06:44Hey, don't forget to go down to Starrs.
06:48Gotta pick up your stripes.
06:51You're putting them up before we go out tonight.
06:55Bill?
06:57What?
06:57Your stripes.
06:58You're putting them up before we go into town.
07:00Yeah.
07:05Yeah, I think I will.
07:17I want the sergeant major and platoon sergeants outside in ten minutes' time.
07:21Right, you early.
07:21Come on.
07:22It's been confirmed.
07:23No more drafts in.
07:24This one stays to defend the island.
07:26Defend the what?
07:27We have nothing bigger than a vicar's.
07:29As the old man puts it, we fight to the last drop of duty-free scotch.
07:32Is the draft coming back?
07:33No.
07:34Navy?
07:34No.
07:35God help us.
07:36Now let's work this out.
07:37What do they want exactly?
07:39More than we can give them, as always.
07:40They want guards.
07:41Here, here, here, you name it, they want a guard.
07:43Everything from an NCO and twelve men down to an NCO and three.
07:45I'll write them down, will you?
07:48Fort Doyle.
07:50Oh, yes, that's where the cable comes in.
07:53Oh, God knows I don't.
07:54Say an NCO and six.
07:57Corporal Ashley.
07:58Private Cass.
08:00Chapman.
08:01Chapel.
08:01Duxbury.
08:02Fuster.
08:03And Galt.
08:04They will then be transported to Fort Doyle where they will relieve the aforementioned guard
08:09who will return to barracks and be off duty for the next twenty-four hours.
08:14And off duty don't just mean tarts.
08:18I want every bed area gleaming.
08:20And I want your rifles so the king would blind himself if he took a deck out on your barrel,
08:25all right?
08:27Right.
08:29Guard duties for the next four days will be posted on the company notice board.
08:36And read it!
08:41Well, what are I like for tonight, then?
08:43Yeah.
08:44And you can go and sickle yourself.
08:47What?
08:48Yeah, me mother, me loving mother.
08:50Could have put her allowance up on a bloody private's pay.
08:54Yeah, I know what it is, though.
08:56She got this fella living with her.
08:58An inspector off Tram.
09:00He's got heart trouble, poor son.
09:03Yeah, it doesn't stop him, though.
09:05And on top of that, he's bleeding there rotten.
09:07Is your father dead?
09:08Yeah, he could be.
09:09I don't know.
09:11I must have had one, I suppose.
09:12My mum's cunning, but she's not that bloody cunning.
09:16I gather you don't like it very much.
09:17Well, that's because of fines, all right.
09:19I mean, it's all you can do, isn't it, speakers, you'll find.
09:21I mean, it's all right for you.
09:22You had money, didn't you?
09:23Not all that much.
09:24Oh, but enough, I bet.
09:26Where your old fellow work at?
09:27He's a manager of a printing firm.
09:29Yeah, well, there you go.
09:30Good job, that.
09:32I was on a job for 18 months before the war broke out.
09:36Bloody godsend, I'll tell you.
09:39That's a well with him.
09:41You going after that Dominic tonight, then?
09:43Might.
09:45I reckon we was dead lucky copping for a pair of sisters.
09:48That Madeleine's a belger, isn't she?
09:53Are you coming, then?
09:55Yes, I suppose so.
09:56I suppose so.
09:57And the way you were dancing that jango the other night.
10:00How'd you know they'll be there?
10:01Ah, they said they would, didn't they?
10:02Did they?
10:03Oh, and it's cracking on your orange, sister.
10:05You've got it all working for you.
10:07You know you have.
10:07Anyone you fancy?
10:25We're not here to fancy anyone.
10:28We're here for the company, no more, no less.
10:31Oh, that's what you're looking for.
10:33Company, no more, no less.
10:35No, you're not.
10:39I know who you're looking for.
10:42Shall I tell you if he comes?
10:45And you'd better get rid of Albert first.
10:47Why don't you shout it a little louder?
10:50I've put sugar in all of them.
10:51You put plenty in mine.
10:53Oh, take that one.
10:53There's more than that.
10:56How's yours, Dominique?
10:57All right?
10:58Fine.
10:59I don't need Sweden.
11:01Well, go on, Albert.
11:02Be a gentleman.
11:03Agree with her.
11:03I don't need to, do I?
11:06Hello.
11:07Hi.
11:07Hello.
11:08Anybody sit in here?
11:09No.
11:10Jack up a chair, Phil.
11:11Yeah.
11:12Right.
11:13What are we all having then?
11:13Champagne for five?
11:15Nice and coffee.
11:16What about you, mate?
11:17No, thanks.
11:18We've just got ours.
11:19Right.
11:20Two coffees in his then.
11:21Unless, of course, you'd like another one.
11:23I wouldn't mind.
11:24Penty of sugar.
11:25You don't care how skint I am, do you?
11:27Are you with our lot?
11:303.41st.
11:31No, I live here in St. Peterport.
11:33I'm on leave.
11:35I go back tomorrow.
11:36Where to?
11:37Liverpool.
11:38Really?
11:38That's my hometown.
11:39Do you come from Liverpool?
11:40Yeah.
11:41Egbert, do you know it?
11:42No, I've only been there three weeks.
11:44I'm on the docks.
11:45Ak-ak.
11:46Well, that's the real Liverpool.
11:47Yes.
11:49Cheers.
11:49Well, I think I'd better go, Dominique.
11:51This is my last night at home.
11:53Best of luck, then, mate.
11:54If you were going home now, I could walk with you.
11:57No, I'm not going home yet, Albert.
11:59Look after yourself.
12:01Goodbye.
12:02Cheerio.
12:03Bye.
12:06Yeah.
12:08That's better.
12:09You might at least wait till he's out of the place.
12:11Hello.
12:12The plane out's you.
12:13I didn't know we got one.
12:14We have now.
12:14This is it.
12:20Would you get rid of me as quickly?
12:23Albert.
12:23Oh.
12:25If I found I liked someone a lot better.
12:28Yes.
12:29What does that mean, exactly?
12:31Don't you know?
12:31It's not true what they say about English soldiers.
12:34Well, I don't know what it is they do say, but whatever it is, it can't be true of us all.
12:38I know what that means.
12:40It means you consider yourself exceptional.
12:43Of course.
12:43Tomorrow's Sunday.
12:52He's not only exceptional, he's very clever.
12:55And I was thinking...
12:56I'm sorry.
12:58You are a teen.
12:59I know.
13:01What were you thinking?
13:02Well, I was thinking that as you're not working tomorrow, and as I'm off duty until five, we might go for a walk tomorrow morning.
13:11I go to church.
13:18But not for the whole morning.
13:20In fact, just before 10.30, I should be coming out of Notre Dame de Roserre.
13:23Could I find it?
13:24It's not difficult.
13:26It's not difficult for someone as exceptionally clever as you.
13:32You haven't done much kissing before, have you?
13:35I wouldn't say that.
13:46I would.
13:48You're improving, though.
13:49Well, thanks.
13:51To you.
13:52More tonight.
13:53Tomorrow night.
13:55Well, why not tonight?
13:57Guard.
13:59Oh.
14:04We have to protect you from the dreaded hum.
14:07But I like the Germans.
14:09If that nice Mr. Hitler hadn't started a walk, I'd never have met you.
14:16I'll mention that when we catch you.
14:23War was going to be over at Christmas.
14:33Next Christmas.
14:34But how?
14:36If the Germans invade all of France?
14:37They won't.
14:38They won't.
14:39They won't.
14:41Look, Dunkirk was nothing.
14:43They had to get out.
14:43They were surrounded.
14:44They'll go back.
14:45Now, Philippe...
14:52Have to wrestlers.
14:53Gabe?
14:53Philippe?
14:53Oh, my name is fundamental.
14:54Are you?
14:55Huh?
14:55Do you think the Germans might come here?
14:58No.
15:01Why not?
15:03Because you're insignificant, that's why.
15:07Because there's only one thing in the whole of the Channel Islands worth having.
15:11And I've got her.
15:28Unfortunately, there are a lot of things worth having.
15:35We're British.
15:38And that would be worth having for the Germans.
15:48I don't think you know very much.
15:51I think you're very young, very ignorant.
15:55And you're not clever at all.
15:58Yes, that's me.
16:00Very young and very ignorant.
16:25So, the day after tomorrow we'll get a boat and I'll show you the islands.
16:30But that's Tuesday. It's a work day.
16:35And I called you ignorant.
16:36I'll have a dental appointment.
16:37Am I awful?
16:38No.
16:39No.
16:40No.
16:41No.
16:42No.
16:43No.
16:44No.
16:45No.
16:46No.
16:47No.
16:48No.
16:49No.
16:50No.
16:51No.
16:52No.
16:53No.
16:54No.
16:55No.
16:56No.
16:57No.
16:58No.
16:59No.
17:00No.
17:01No.
17:02No.
17:03No.
17:04No.
17:05But that's Tuesday.
17:08It's a work day.
17:10And I called you ignorant.
17:11I'll have a dental appointment.
17:13Am I awful?
17:14Terrible.
17:15You're suffering feel like our sergeant is pendular plumbosis.

25:15ah they're also closing the schools too
25:17not all of them just the primary schools

50:06Good way to the box!
50:08Right!
50:14Standard!
50:16Eight!
50:22Firm enough, do you think?
50:24Should be, Corp.
50:26Jerry's bombed all the boats at Dunkirk, didn't they?
50:28Get the pins out, Navy.
50:30Do you reckon they'll bomb us?
50:32Well, they will do if they spot us, I suppose.
50:36What the hell are you doing?
50:38Hunting the gun, Sergeant Paraka.
50:44Get it out!
50:48You loosen your clap.
50:50You swing your cross-head round.
50:52And you fix it with your cross-head joint pin.
51:02Have you got it?
51:04Take hold, then.
51:06Who's number two on this gun?
51:07Chapul, Sergeant.
51:08Chapul!
51:10Chapul!
51:12What me, Sergeant?
51:14You number two on this gun?
51:15Yes, Sergeant.
51:16Then watch it.
51:17If you have to fire it, which God forbid, follow the gun around with your belt box or your jam.
51:25And that's not good.
51:27Not if you've got a Stuka diving down your gob.
51:29Get the ammo, Aby.
51:30Okay, Paul.
51:31I've got a message for you.
51:32She says she understands.
51:33Chapul!
51:34Give us a hand with his ammo.
51:35Tell him I understand him very well, she said.
51:36But not as well as I do, mate.
51:37Message from the King to the Bailiffs of Jersey and Guernsey.
51:38For strategic reasons, it has been found necessary to withdraw the gun.
51:39I've got a message for you.
51:40I've got a message for you.
51:41She says she understands.
51:42Chapul!
51:43Give us a hand with his ammo.
51:44Tell him I understand him very well, she said.
51:46But not as well as I do, mate.
51:47Message from the King to the Bailiffs of Jersey and Guernsey.
52:02For strategic reasons, it has been found necessary to withdraw the armed forces from
52:08the Channel Islands.
52:11I deeply regret this necessity and I wish to assure my people in the islands that, in
52:18taking this decision, my government has not been unmindful of their position.
52:24It is in their interest that this step should be taken in present circumstances.
52:31The long association of the islands with the Crown and the loyal service the people
52:37of the islands have rendered to my ancestors and myself, our gamut.
