“So he blew a little whistle and they came down and began to gather around and throw down their guns and belts. All but one of them came off the hill with their hands up, and just before that one got to me he threw a little hand grenade which burst in the air in front of me.

Thank you so much for that link. I am going to share it with my husband as he is the one who first loved the movie and shared it with me.
