about my campaign?

-It's not the PM's business.
-It's Bartlett, sir. Must be.

You will not leave
without permission.

00:00:20,817 --> 00:00:22,817
This is an official reprimand.

at Anzac,

for me, though?
19
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:46,636

21
00:00:48,206 --> 00:00:49,905
Up Walker's or the Nek.

-What about you blokes?

Aboard the 'Jonquil', sir.
36
00:01:22,832 --> 00:01:26,333
The navy should do something
about their slippery ladders.

ASPINALL:
From General Stopford, sir.
38
00:01:28,303 --> 00:01:30,336
Now we have Chunuk Bair,
I need him there

"tend to be aggressive".

-No, you mayn't, Braithwaite!

Your advice is not welcome
at the moment.

This is only temporary.
For the shade, of course.

Your orders were to move
from here and take the hills.

to the heights.

were caught in the flames.

back to the beach.

Don't patronise me, Bartlett.

Still, I spoke with Aspinall.
80

at Chunuk Bair.

00:41:27,071 --> 00:41:29,038
You're eating.
541
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,839
(HALF-LAUGHS)
542
00:41:31,907 --> 00:41:33,574
Yeah.
543
00:41:35,076 --> 00:41:36,876
(HALF-LAUGHS)
544
00:41:40,914 --> 00:41:44,883
TOLLY: I don't know
what it was...
545
00:41:44,885 --> 00:41:49,820
..but, for the first time,
I felt some hope.
546
00:41:50,721 --> 00:41:53,589
Maybe we were gonna make it.
547
00:41:55,124 --> 00:41:57,691
Maybe I'd make it home.
548
00:42:00,227 --> 00:42:03,095
