What sort of casualties do you anticipate sir
00:00:03.753 --> 00:00:06.506
Hmm say five percent killed by our own barrage
00:00:06.589 --> 00:00:08.508
That's a very generous allowance

Ten percent more in getting through no man's land
00:00:11.998 --> 00:00:13.221

That leaves 65 with the worst part of the job over
00:00:17.225 --> 00:00:21.229
