Edmund Breon: The General
Quotes
-
The General : Well, now, here's the situation, gentlemen. At 9:40 tomorrow night, your batteries will move up and occupy these positions.
Maj. Bradford : Yes sir.
The General : Then, when Jerry attacks in force, your battery, Bradford, will fall back.
Maj. Bradford : Retreat, sir?
The General : Don't be so infernally British, Bradford. As an assault to your patriotism, you may be interested to hear that we intend to drive a wedge into the right flank of the German advance.
Maj. Bradford : Oh, I see sir. Then, my retreat is only a blind.
The General : Exactly.
