Lieutenant John Chard
Right now, I wish I were a damned ranker, like Hook or Hitch.
Lieutenant John Chard
That's a bitter pill! Our own damned rifles!
Lieutenant John Chard
I knew it... I knew it! They're going to attack both sides at once!
Lieutenant John Chard

Colour Sergeant Bourne

Reverend Otto Witt
