So Mr Carson's told me, m'lord.
-
I appreciate how distressing this is for you and your family.
-
Do you, m'lord?
-
Because I'm not sure Mr Carson does.
-
Carson is as sorry about it as I am. Aren't you, Carson?
-
I'm sorry that Mrs Patmore should be distressed, m'lord.
-
But you're not sorry Archie's name's to be left off the memorial.

He volunteered. He didn't wait to be called up.
-
He went to the Front to fight,
-
and as for his so-called cowardice...
-
that were like a wound in battle, a wound to his brain,
-
so he didn't know what he was doing.
