The greatest self-indulgence which Stonewall Jackson never allowed himself in wartime, a luxury which he reserved for most memorable occasions, was to suck a lemon (VO laughter from audience). On the many, many days when I visited Montgomery on the morrow or the eve of important battle while they are in progress, I am glad to assure you that I cannot remember that the bill of fare was so severely restricted - otherwise I might not have followed the operation so closely" (laughter) / WS PAN Montgomery shouts "Hip-Hip-Hooray" three times as veterans join him to give Churchill big cheers / Note: film has nitrate deterioration
