	:: Anglo Zulu War - A Loss ::
		The companion of Hook in that famous scene exhorts Hook as to the results of his actions, reminding him that it is a flogging offence, but Hook drinks on regardless and in the film proceeds to win his later-awarded Victoria Cross.
		Hook died in early 1905 and it was thought that 3 September would be the day to have this ceremony, 100 years after Hook, in Gloucestershire.
		Hook in real life was teetotal and a temperate, modest man, unlike his character in the film.

	Alston: "Man overboard", 1860.
		Boat's gripes, instead of being secured to an eye-bolt in the chains, should be set up to a strop with a thimble in it, passed through the eye-bolt, and retained there by a slip-toggle with a lanyard attached; which has therefore merely to be hauled upon to free the boat.
		The steadying-lines should be of chain, with a hook on the ends; rope ones give, and are seldom hitched square.

		To be hilarious in the Strand is to be unnatural, to court detention in a police cell or a lunatic asylum.
		Alfred likewise leans modestly towards the dove and is shown at her best in a soft pale frock trimmed with passementerie of the same shade and topped by a large hat of fl chip tipped well towards the right side.
		Alfred is young enough to ignore the ravages of a possible embonpoint, but there be other matrons who hang so uncertainly about that borderland of beauty that they somehow manage to convey the hint that only by an unwinking watchfulness do they succeed in foiling the onslaughts of his ogreship of avoirdupois.

		The most controversial invention is "Hooky," the interpretation of Private Alfred Henry Hook as played by James Booth in the film's most thoroughly-developed subplot.
		Hook shouts, "shut up, you cripple!" and hits the man in the face with a utility belt.
		Hook's third scene is long and informative, key to the subplot and a nonstop tour de force of physical acting on the part of James Booth.

		Hook responds to Maxfield's abusive, domineering behavior with a mixture of contemptuous hostility and studied indifference.
		Offended by Hook's pride and bluff cynicism, confused by his mixed signals, and now ashamed of her own feelings, Miss Witt walks out in a huff, pausing just long enough to reply, "I thought you might pray for him." She shuts the door behind her and Hooky chuckles, "Ah, she's a dry one.
		Hook approaches the flames as if to walk through them to rescue Maxfield but the heat is too intense and forces him to back away.
