    Dress for reporting sick in my regiment was No2 dress, ie, best uniform shirt and tie, and best boots. Kit put into storage and carrying a number of items. The reason for this was simple, to stop us from reporting sick. Because of this, lads who were genuinely sick or injured didn't bother going to the med centre so just got worse.

      Appointment With Crime: As I've written before, one of the joys of watching old forgotten crime films is unexpectedly coming across something well-made, rare and unusual. Something completely unlike the indulgent, formulaic and creatively bankrupt big budget Hollywood fare in theaters currently. This is a Brit noir like that - good film, bad title. It starred as a criminal protagonist William Hartnell, who is far better known internationally as the original British television Doctor Who. Hartnell's Doctor was a jovial but sometimes petulant old man - always a humanitarian. On the whole, a positive if somewhat mysterious role model. As the criminal thug Leo Martin in this film he was ferret-like, vengeful, manipulative and utterly contemptible; he carried this film very well indeed. Also notable was Herbert Lom as a homosexual upper class kingpin and his flamboyantly limp-wristed companion (Hartnell calls him a "Christmas Carol"); I've never seen the like in a film this early. Suggestions of homosexuality are usually MUCH more subdued in film noir. There's also (bleeped out) swearing in this grim and desperate film... apparently there were also four overly-violent scenes cut as well. Appointment With Crime badly needs a quality restoration. What put it over the top for me, however, were some truly wonderful but brief character actor scenes - this film is so well cast it's a joy to watch. A film I thought would be completely unpromising became instead one of my favorite Brit noirs. I love when that happens!

      @@BegoneJonah In some early films he was billed as "Billy" Hartnell - not appropriate for a man who commanded authority in every role he played. He definately justified "Wiliiam" I read somewhere he was a rather dour man in real life, and I doubt he would much approve of the antics of some of todays stars.

      Yes, I'm Alright Jack was 3 years later than Private's Progress, which was made in 1956. It was one of the most popular film of the year, as was Private's Progress. The earlier film took the piss out of the army (they actually refused to help in any way with the film), the laltter one took the piss out of both unions and management.

      This was WW II, when they had to conscript men. From 1914 to 1916, all British Armed Forces were volunteers. When the casualty rates soared and word got back about how bad life was in the trenches, they brought in conscription and did so again in 1939.

      No difficulty understanding either Hartnell or Carmichael here. Hartnell, I think, was from London, Carmichael was born in Hull, where his family owed a shop selling, among other things, crockery and glassware. Hartnell was talking in a way beloved of senior NCOs, such as sergeants and sergeant majors, known to the lower ranks as God.

      He did. His portrayal of Lord Peter Wimsey in the Dorothy Sayer novels, televised in the early to mid 2970s, was excellent. Most people who have read both Agatha Christie and Sayers' novels will confirm the latter was by far the better author, although not as popular.
