00:03This particular day opens with a visit to the Australians in camp, somewhere in the south, by His Majesty the
00:09King.
00:16The King does not forget the nurses and later takes a salute at a march past of the men whose
00:21only complaint is that they have not yet had a chance to get at the enemy.
00:25As he left, the King described the Australians as a fine lot of men.
00:36And now for a study of a typical day with the diggers. First, a route march headed by their regimental
00:42band.
00:59Now see how these sturdy Aussies intend dealing with the jerrys.
01:03On guard! Rest! On guard! Rest! On guard! Point advancing! Point! In! Out! Pass through!
01:17Cold steel is the right stuff for the Bosch and nobody knows it better than the Sergeant Major.
01:22And he's not a fellow you can argue with.
01:26With off! On guard!
01:30And when the day's training is over, they take things easy this way.
01:34They call the rope Adolf and use all their sun-tanned brawn trying to pull the blue pencil thing in
01:40half.
01:42The sweetheart of the Australian army is Mabel.
01:44They haven't brought her over, but they're sending her this message.
01:48My Mabel, wait for me!
01:50...the right to stride.
01:53Where the dark is from the side above,
01:57My miles long can be blind.
02:01I hear you and me,
02:04In the dark will be blind.
02:07Where the dark is from the side above,
02:11My miles long can be blind.
02:15I'm the one that is behind.
02:16I know she's one and...
02:18...and she's the one I'm the one.
02:22She's the one that is with her.
02:25The nature's the one we're to tell her.
02:30My Mabel, wait for me!
02:33Underneath the bright blue sky,
02:36Where the dark's from the pack above,
02:39My miles long can be blind.
02:42You
