Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who said: "It's a feather in our cap, Stanhope."?

Answer: The Colonel

This is from Act 3, Scene One, when it is revealed that the Colonel wanted glory and promotion from the raid which other men gave their lives for.

2. Who said: "You eat the men's rations when there's barely enough for each man?"?

Answer: Stanhope

This was said to Raleigh when he ate dinner with the men rather than eating the luxury dinner after taking part in the raid. Raleigh insisted that he didn't want to eat the luxury chicken, or drink the champagne or smoke the cigars when Osborne and six other men died for it.

3. Which character asked Stanhope whether he "would like a nice plate of sardines"?

Answer: Mason

Mason, as the officers' cook, provides them with their (often questionable) meals, makes them drinks such as tea, and performs other duties such as waking them when it is their turn to go on duty.

4. Who says: "I thought there would be an awful row here - all the time"?

Answer: Raleigh

This shows Raleigh's naivety at the start of the play, because he doesn't know much about the war, how it is fought and what he should expect. This quotation is from Act One, where he and Osborne talk.

5. Which character asks Osborne: "D'you see 'is eyes? All red. 'E told me in there 'e'd got 'ay-fever."

Answer: Trotter

If you didn't know this, you might have had an educated guess because of the language used. Because Trotter didn't have as good an education as Osborne, Stanhope and Raleigh, he spoke colloquially. This quotation was from Act Two, after Hibbert had just tried to desert.

6. Which loyal officer states: "You don't know him as I do; I love that fellow. I'd go to hell with him"?

Answer: Osborne

This quotation is from Act One, when Osborne talks to Hardy about Stanhope. This shows that Osborne cares a great deal about Stanhope and respects him.

7. Hibbert is seen singing "One and Two, it's with Maud and Lou; Three and Four, two girls more".

Answer: False

It is Hardy who sings this, in Act One. He is the character who is first seen in the play and who says the first words, although he leaves to go down the line and isn't seen again in the rest of the play.

8. Who brags: "Then I started doing about sixty down all sorts of roads - I went round a corner with those girls' hair on end - didn't have any more trouble from them!"

Answer: Hibbert

Hibbert begins to show off to impress Stanhope, although this doesn't work. This conversation happens after the raid, in Act Three.

9. Who insists: "No man of mine's going sick before the attack"?

Answer: Stanhope

Stanhope is talking about Hibbert at this point in Act One because he thinks Hibbert is just using his neuralgia as a way to "wriggle home". Later in the play, we find out this is true.

10. Who says: "Lord! I must get my fat down"?

Answer: Trotter

Trotter is known for being fat and cheerful, so this question shouldn't have been much trouble if you know the play well! This quote was from Act Two, when Trotter gets up to go on duty.
