and he has one of my favorite movie quotes to this day from that film.

Chard: The army doesn't like more than one disaster in a day.

Bromhead: Looks bad in the newspaper and upsets civilians at their breakfast.

God I Love that!

Colour Sergeant Bourne to the Swedish Reverend: "Be quiet now sir, that's a good gentleman. Don't upset the lads."

Colour Sergeant Bourne to his troops: "Mark your targets, look to your front."

It reminds me of one of my favorite Kipling poems (about the importance of NCOs)-The 'Eathen.
