father about it

[Music]

but damn it boy you can't just walk out

of University like that well I have

you owe me an explanation

a father I've had years of schooling

it's enough I mean what relevance is a

degree in running a cattle property

anyway I don't want you as just another

farmer secured in his provincialism

I had hoped you'd gone to my old college

at Cambridge but what I want is to learn

this trade an unfortunate term

just give me some breathing space for a

year then if you wish I'll take my

degree see dick and I were talking about

the Queensland

why there's going to be a war

I will not have a Barrington stocking in

the outback while I'm other countries in

Peril father what on Earth are you

talking about I mean that war of it

happens will be 12 000 miles away what's

it got to do with us

challenges astounds me

perhaps University was a waste of time

Martin we are British and being Oh I

thought we were Australian father

and being British carries with a

responsibility as well as privilege of

whatever the Europeans want to do is no

business about it goes down how long

will this country stand I've heard all

aside when they're no longer wanted

a cottage for life and a pension is

hardly what I call being thrown aside it

fancy University

and the Prime Minister has sent a cable

to London saying Indescribable

enthusiasm and entire unanimity

throughout Australia in support of the

empire in war here here here here we

have never been so United

the whole Colony will give its Nation

father we no longer a colony

a nation then

I say Martin then if it starts will you

be going most definitely oh terrific

ladies and gentlemen Great Britain has

declared war on Germany

Australia New Zealand and Canada have

announced they will be raising forces

immediately

movement once we are the Empire set our

minds tell the staff to tap the battle

number one fire

that gentleman is why there's a

continuous trench from the North Sea to

the Swiss border

neither side can cross no man's land

our enemy the German Army is extremely

skillful in their use of it their

Gunners are hand-picked and they use

them like this

Crossfire

the entire front is criss-crossed like

that

what's the answer then sir

guns

bombs

bravery perhaps

there isn't a real answer

not yet

[Music]

[Applause]

when we started our March south of the

song everyone was in High Spirits

join the great battle that was going to

win the war

even the old hands it might have reason

to know better were caught up in the

Moon

been going non-stop for three weeks and

we were pretty sure that old Fritz must

be really knocked about by now

Discipline Do you hear me

obviously have no notion of what the

word means look at you

I'm not impressed

by old soldiers who fumble their way

through a few battles

by the book which was written by clever

Amanda new

and if not by the punishment Clauses of

the army Act

do I make myself clear

and get us all killed Bill I'll tell you

off it for me to lead you into the great

battle which is about to commence

names

responsible opinions General

perhaps journalism has its uses it put

an end to that abominable sideshow

or must be fought here in France

this is where the German Army must be

brought to battle and blood white

and we need every man to do it

and not be sidetracked by politicians

and strategic amateurs I agree Jennifer

the hairdressers interviewers not going

to result in a newspaper article

no sir

my prime minister asked me to call and

express his admiration and best wishes

in the onerous responsibilities you have

before you thank you from here

anything else

he did ask me to um raise with you the

possibility of all five Australian

divisions being grouped together under

their own command

like the Canadians

out of the question

I will not have my hands tired as to

where I can dispose of them it is a

matter which both the Prime Minister and

the Australian public feel very keenly

about

I remind you Mr murdick that you're a

small country

and your army is less than 10 percent of

the British forces in France I know it's

insignificant Force I hope anyway shall

see

they have us yet to prove themselves

against a first-class engineer

the meanwhile it Grieves me to say they

are creating legal and disciplinary

problems out of all proportion to their

numbers

under their own command furthermore

I'd like you to convey to your prime

minister in the strongest terms the

urgent need to reintroduce the death

penalty

the Australian people would never again

have the power of life and death to a

British Court martial

the maintenance of discipline must take

precedence over National feeding agreed

if that's what's at stake

but our men are all volunteers the kind

more easily led the driven

a dubious distinction

I don't see how voluntarism can replace

the normal wasters let alone losses in a

major battle normal wastage about five

thousand a day across the hillfront

however

this trench deadlock May soon be a thing

of the past

I am preparing the greatest blow of this

war and about 20 British divisions

against the German lion and God willing

we will break through and set the

Cavalry loose

may as soon be over foreign

the big push for 1917 had started nearly

two months ago near a place called Libra

whatever the high command lacked it

wasn't guns the whole area was

devastated

the offensive had bogged down with both

the Tommy's and Fritz taking a dreadful

hiding

now it was our turn

out on to the operator about 20 minutes

bill

g'day Pat

oh

this guy fellas

come on man

the action was a complete success all

objectives taken and all the fritz was

left groggy on the ropes

some of us even thought the end might be

inside

as we found out later it would have been

better if we'd fail

[ __ ] up

the bloody whistle

[Applause]

merciful course

about that you can go home now you've

earned it yeah you're going uh dust off

the red carpet for when we come visit

and you know when this nonsense is over

yeah all together all right sir

yeah

foreign

[Music]

I'm missing like blazes

wanting to go

[Music]

Captain young States in his report that

someone most probably you struck him

unconscious in an unprovoked attack

during the Battle of brutian Ridge

what have you to say it was dark sir and

a lot was happening I know what it was

like have you anything else to add no

sir

the regimental sergeant major questioned

a score of soldiers who would have been

in plain view of the incident not one of

them saw anything

do you find that amusing Flanagan

no sir

Captain young it now remains for me to

decide what action to take in regard to

Sergeant Flanagan please withdraw to the

adjectives office certainly sir

foreign

must always be a Paramount aim of the

army yes sir and that relations between

officers and other ranks is the key

concern of military law and the breaches

of this law attract the harshest

penalties

do you know why they should be so

sergeant

I hope you do

without these constraints an army would

only be an armed Rebel

there's not me a theory Sergeant there

have been reports of unarmed German

prisoners apparently shot dead behind

Australian lions

yeah

I understand sir

then why I did what I thought was right

at the time I still think it was Sir

I have your recommendation for an award

for gallantry signed by the adjutant it

concerns your attack on toolbox Emma and

just steadiness and consolidating the

company on its final objective

there can be no thought affording it now

get out

Sergeant you know and I know that you

should be called Marshall but that's

impossible

you've got Brian's Flanagan you know why

firstly you could call 50 of the best

soldiers as witnesses to testify for you

Captain young could call none secondly

it would appear that the authorities had

brought over to France a man incompetent

to command men in battle there'd be no

way of suppressing a scandal

now go before I change my mind

is there's no black mark on your conduct

sheet you might as well have these

and if you ever come before me again

I'll cut you off at the crown jewels

well is the old man gonna call Marshall

yet no mate worse than that

maybe we can buy your way out of them

what they did was

make me an officer

[Music]

I don't know why was he born at all

right

[Music]

foreign

good good

how is it ah we'll be all right

I just had to see you before you sailed

Colonel leg says he can have you on a

boat home in three weeks

yeah we'll have

I'm not going to Australia

what I'm seeing Keith Murdoch about a

staff job

you promised me you'd go home

you promised me

yeah I know but you know when I thought

about Italy oh things considered I'm not

in bad shape the manager staff job

liar

bloody liar

you've got a chance to go home

a lot of men would envy you that

[Music]

you know it's only my arm out of action

on my brain I can be some music

you really want to be with the boys

don't you

know of course I do

I don't know a damn thing about you

anymore

when I came here you didn't kiss me you

didn't even say hello what are you

talking about

right after the war we've got to finish

it first

why we

you mean you personally

maybe I do I mean

I don't know anymore I've been fighting

for three and a half years now just like

me

okay

I've got to go back

I've got to say this through

they sold what the hell Marty

[Music]

don't you ever lose I'm going in loser

mate

thank you

yeah right who's in then

oh now this is what I call a war me too

keep it like this and I'm in for life

boys oh it's good

you're all right food

why is he working

oh your skin

and we're paying him six months an hour

six months

all right then nine foots anyway it's

the uh

China come on Betty hasn't even had a

drink I'll revive for that matter oh

you're worse than the bloody overseas

anyway you're an officer very true Lance

corporal and by all right I should be

putting you to work mate

tough

I thought you were going to an Officers

Training course at Amy ends so I am

after we finish the water bottle that is

anymore thanks nope

i-20s pay me and about bleeding time

why is it also peaceful do you think

maybe Fritz has run out of ideas well

that'll be the day

they're keeping very quiet about it if

they are

right our generals are going it will

take up six months to put the British

army back together again after

passchendale better to keep it this way

play cards and wait for our pension yeah

we're saying that and Gallipoli three

bloody years ago

long time away from home

what is it Hey listen

up there

yep and this is what I call a war

[Applause]

you're asking a hell of a logic well I

think I deserve it I signed on for the

duration after all

Orlando

I need a damn good reason

if there's one thing that the troops

hate more than fruits in the weather

it's a staff

you're not your divisional man but those

champagne sippers up at high

headquarters and the troops see their

greatest threat is coming from these

incompetent base officers who understand

nothing of the fighting man's need

if I was to become a star boxer I might

be able to change much as a junior but I

could sure as hell protest against

schemes which are downright bloody

murder

I mean believe me the Situation's Beyond

a joke

some British units have openly stated

that they'd rather shoot at the staff

than friends

in the French army the staff officers

are no longer going to wear their

armbands

I see what you mean

look I'm going to tell you something

this is most confidential

the five Australian divisions had to be

unified finally under their own command

really

we've been arguing with Hague for two

years for this for the right to fight

alongside our own

so who gets command

hopefully white maybe birdwood then

Monash as his supporters

well I don't suppose you'd get me a

posting of one

Monash perhaps

these third divisions taking some pretty

heavy Knocks

I mean the man's a good enough

administrator also I hear

might be the best I can do for you

it was now the New Year in the North

European winter descended on the

battlefield

Battlefield turned into a moonscape by a

million shells

desolate Place marked where three

hundred thousand British soldiers fell

for the gain of a few miles

[Music]

the guns were mostly silent now except

for an occasional burst of hate

the soldiers energies were concentrated

on battling those old foes

rain

[Music]

also buried here were Illusions and

false hopes for a quick end of the war

two Mighty armies faced each other over

a few yards of Muddy ground in a

paralyzing stale

and while Generals in warm chateau's

puzzled to find an answer

Frontline soldiers were United in a

common misery

conditions man will be ruined

didn't sign a religion mate no I'm gonna

do 10 hours ago

you're right bill

Dusky made in a grass skirt

walking up the beach in the coral reef

carrying two of the biggest

trap I ever saw

when I opened my eyes what will I see

bloody Flanagan hell of a time are you

thinking of a fish dinner mate I've said

I was thinking of a thing you've got to

look after yourself

it only hurts when I laugh

did you hear

Canadians on our left took passiondale

yesterday

oh come on mate it was a bloody good

effort

we've shot a boat a blind man would know

it all we've done is create a bog 12

miles wide behind us

guns can't get up

supplies

now guns and farts we're just about out

at one eh yeah Fritz's laughing at us

now him in greenfields and we're stuck

here in the mud nothing changes

hey any news at dinga no I reckon he

shot through for good and I don't reckon

he'd bother taking those German

prisoners all the way back either

Brawley could have gone back and had

that redressed you know

no thanks sergeant

probably be drowned if I try to get back

by myself

won't be long now mate

true they're gonna bring boats in and

rails here who told you that

look next time anyone tells you

something make sure they cross their

heart first all right

hello there

foreign

where's the officer I admit I asked

where you've been you're 10 hours late

well you wouldn't believe it let's start

officer Vlog says it's one and a half

hours to come up

but I can tell you

we've been 11 hours younger girl my legs

have done up

and look good here

welcome aboard Mr Arbuckle his name's

Flanagan

well I mean I'll show you around see if

I can get hold of a strong drink for you

and your men

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

thank you

oh my God

did we send a man to fight him this

all right

the first stop after jump right over the

second stop officers back the seconds to

jump right over the first time officers

back the first step up was a jump right

over the second stop officers

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

okay I thought he was a loser

German's that close are they they're all

over the place sir looks like it could

be the big breakthrough this time armies

can go anytime

now with the Australian division sir try

not to

ask inside all right so places empty

officers have gone

where are you going back to Cali base HQ

so we could uh we can give you a lift if

you like no thanks I'm going the other

way

for one bottle of Brandy thank you very

much sir that'll do nicely

very hot on paperwork it's the colonel

sir

[Applause]

gentlemen the dress standards of this

headquarters are declining I must have a

word to the chief of staff

the British are already half convinced

we're all Bush ranchers and I hear

you've been running a private Army of

Tommy's how were they good man sir

only some of their top rights were

well there's a quotation from Napoleon

that covers it there's no such thing as

a bad Soldier only bad officers eh

yes sir

there's a Pity about the British they

draw their offices from a narrow social

class or some of them are good

but in a world like this there's not

enough of those to go around

it's custom dearly

now Barrington you sell to me on the

basis of Your Brains it's about time we

put that to the test

now look here we've given the Germans a

bloody nose right there

temporarily

there's still outnumbers four to one but

if we can keep them unsettled for say 48

Hours there'll be time to bring up the

extra Australian divisions

I tend to do this with a series of local

counter-attacks

I want you to do a study of the ground

where we can achieve the greatest

success at the smallest cost

and the appreciation in front of me in

three hours

foreign

the officers are getting down for a

stretch

oh I suppose they need to must have

stiff backsides riding around all day on

them big fat cushions eh there's a puppy

officer coming to speak to them brass

hat gentleman I am instructed to inform

you that the expected driving attack in

the north has come in

bloody Hill Flanagan was right

says we'll get shot at

against killer and yep if they succeed

the only formed body of troops between

here and the channel Force so it's all

up to you

well-known creek and a barbed wire canoe

hey when are you coming to see us as

soon as the boss lets me Captain

Barrington where is that the boss

okay I better be off

good to see everybody

come on

right now this is the arrowhead

formation

very handy in advancing across open

country while still affording some flank

protection

now the Lewis gun is placed on the open

flank or High Ground

nobody it looks like a staff officer too

feel funny

carry on lieutenant

I'm not used to seeing my staff offices

greeted so affectionately my old platoon

sir they obviously haven't forgotten you

no sir I don't suppose I could just

we're too busy Barrington yes

you'll have a copy of the timings for

the tank night March to the start line

it's also a schedule of overhead flights

to cover the noise I want you to go over

every inch of their route we check all

timings down to the second and have it

on General bloomy's desk tomorrow first

thing he said

another 60 hour

you know me

and I know most of you

in the ranks

I see a few faces

pathetically if you

of the men who've fought their way up

the gullies of Anzac with the old age

I see men who are carried from the

ditches at Flamel

who refused to give up even when the

Battalion was almost wiped out

I see others who survived a terrible

storm of fire on the song and it bullet

Corps

but most of all

I see the Battalion that was one of the

victors of Villa's retinol

when in the darkest days of the war you

snatch Victory out of defeat

fostered hope in the face of despair

you're an example

to all the Allied armies

you are a living history of the Deeds of

the anzacs

you put Australia's name before the

world

in a moment

I'm going to give you an order

[Music]

and I want you to think carefully

what you are going to do

now you all know me well enough to know

that I have never begged anything of you

I will not do so now

but I will ask you

to think of Australia

and the anzacs

no name

feared

and respected

on both sides of the line

[Music]

you must do nothing to tarnish it now

the war is approaching its climax

the end is in sight

let's finish it together

the bloody crows what are we back horses

or racehorses

it's not too many thoroughbreds around

here but not in front of me either right

you're okay

we were finally an Open Country

trenches in the mud were left far behind

us

this suited the diggers down to the

ground and they went at it with all

their might

soon became clear that we dealt old

Fritz a knockout blow

a lot of them surrendered but some

particularly the machine gun has fought

to the last

later we heard that the German Chief

ludendorff declared that this battle was

the black day of the German army

the day in which they lost the war

now part of the front [ __ ] another five

miles five miles yeah it went through

all Fritz like a packet of salts five

miles in one day what's this war coming

here

yeah and to think that it took nearly

six months to take passion though yeah

you didn't have to run five miles to

find or fight back then yeah
