C – Christopher Tietjens


Mac – Vincent Macmaster


E – Edith Duchemin


 


Mac: Oh, Chrissie, thank God you're here!


C: Your telegram bounced, I was in Yorkshire, seeing Michael. What's happened?


Mac: Edith will explain on the train. I won't forget today in a hurry.


C: None of us will. Haven't you heard? We're at war with Germany.


E: Oh... Oh...


--: The French are saying that we're not pulling our weight. The Prime Minister wishes to show that, when measured against respective populations of single men of fighting age and suchlike, that our contribution compares very favourably 1 with the French.


C: Does it? This document lumps together 72 battalions 2 of Kitchener's volunteers who aren't even on the Western Front, because they're still in training without half their kit 3.


--: That's a million men under arms committed to the fight!


C: This is all about who's in control of strategy, I suppose.


--: Our masters take the view the Western Front must be under dual 4 command, not, repeat not,


under a single command, which would mean French command, obviously.
