Henryp was mmy target, the poster immediately before mine. You know I did a little bit in the doing of that film, and know the background. I in particular bear the opprobrium of Joan Plowright for what I did, having found those uniforms, so I know exactly where she was coming from. However much the Revisionists may hate the criticism, it is necessary and objective, and to argue differently is an attempt to limit our freedom of expression in reminding the Nation of the other side of the story, the bits they chose, curiously, to disregard. I think it's time to go on the offensive, paying them back with their own currency. Prove your claims, that every man on the Western Front marched cheerfully into the teeth of the enemy's guns with narry a murmur of complaint. Anyone else here held a post in a military high command? Be thankful that people like me exist there and are not afraid to hold our line, I was in no way untypical: the commanders now are very careful of our men. It's why only 453 men died in the Afghan war, which, I would remind you, was fought over a very similar area and for three times as line.
