Corporal
Turnbull was a young man who had come back from Dunkirk, France. He was a wise
and practical man. He had come to deliver a lecture on the hand grenade. Though
young,' he was not a man to be trifled with.' He was known to have returned
from the battlefield with all his equipment correctly accounted for. He was a
hero figure for the whole platoon. Highly admired, he was personified by saying

He was a fastidious person. He was not a person who would patronise

man, not to be easily provoked.

well. When the time came, he taught Quelch a lesson.
