An Old Face Returns - Chapter 7.2 - Observation Post

Captain Shepard: I want that Observation Post set up by Nightfall. I got a communique from BF HQ, the Volgans are on the move, but they don't know if they've crossed the Atlantic yet. So we have to be prepared.

Lt. Sabre: Yes sir.



Angus: What setting do you use for these types of drinks?

Sean: 'Blitz,' innit?

Rodge: Nah, it's mix.



Lt. Sabre: Gentleman, I'm aware that some of you are on leave, it's unfortunate, but I need two volunteers for O-P detail.



Sean: Me sir.

Angus: Me too sir, us 50ths have to prove ourselves somehow.

Lt. Sabre: Nothing to prove, trooper.



Lt. Sabre: At any rate, take this list to Sgt. Knight, he's acting Quartermaster, he'll get your gear together. Set up outside, overlooking the entrance.



Sgt. Knight: This is a lot of gear for a simple observation post.



Sean: At what cost, safety, am I right?



Lt. Sabre: I see you guys are all set up, got your guns loaded, cuppa brewing.

Sean: Did that first, priorities you know.

Lt. Sabre: Quite. Get on the horn and tell us if you see anything, or need provisions, anything like that. I'll have your relief out here in 2 hours.

Sean: Aye.

Great stuff ....look forward to next episode

Terrific stuff Ian

It's quiet.....too quiet!

Important to get the tea brewing on a lookout shift, it's what keeps us Brit's going.
Nicely posed figures too.

The storm clouds are gathering

That last shot is fantastic! Tension is building.

Love the "Blitz, in'nit?" line! Good thing the lieutenant got to them before they were too far into their little celebration!
