The Vanguard were all in the pub near base back in England, with Carthings using some of his pay to buy the first round for the squad.
"Here, Captain, why the fuck did the boss decide to stay back over seas?"
"That's none of your business Private, let's just say that he has his reasons, mainly he just can't stand being around you for so long and needs a break." Carthings said, earning a laugh from the squad before glancing over to Jones who nodded to him.
Soon, the men gathered at their Regimental barracks as Carthings and Jones stood outside the tent, reading a telegram from HQ, they were getting a few new recruits. Carthings sighed to himself before looking to Jones.
"They're sending us more Yanks, a kid, one of Stirlings lot and a Scot." Carthings said as he lit a cigarette.
"I just hope they're from that airborne lot, at least then we don't have to train them to jump." Jones said as he took a sip of whisky from a hip flask. A jeep arrived with the new recruits.
"Okay you four, form up on Carthings." Jones called out as he looked at the men, the first one had his rank still on his uniform. "You, who are you?"
"Lieutenant Mark Fleming sir!"
"Lieutenant eh... not any fucking more. Welcome to the Vanguard, Private!" Carthings said bluntly as he stripped the rank from the mans uniform.
Nathan Fillion as Private Mark Fleming...
Carthings looked at him, before moving onto the next new recruit.
"You are?"
"Private Luke Jackson, Sir!"
David Tennant as Private Luke Jackson...
"Scotsman eh! Christ above." Carthings remarked as he moved along to the next soldier. "Name?"
"Sergeant Nichols. Sir!"
