Really funny.

And their memories.

But anyway, the following day, they set off to clear some woods near Point 103.

And this is over the road, so over towards Point 102.

Right.

Not much in it.

A little bit.

And again, it's a very defined ridgeline.

Anyway, so they head over there and they're advancing.

At one point, Render rolls up his battle dress sleeves.

In his first day in action, he's with Neville Fern.

Right.

Neville Fern is one of the kind of more experienced guys, the troop commanders in A Squadron.

You're not completely thrown into it.

And as soon as he does, Neville Fern tells him off.

He says, never roll up your sleeves because that's protection against fire.

Yeah.

And he says, never get out of the tank and go swanning about or get yourself killed.

He says, never ever wear a helmet because it's an easy target for snipers and gets in the way.

He says, put your helmet on the machine gun bracket instead and the Germans will think it's your head because they never have machine guns on the top of theirs.
