Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe music Potter is listening to when the Korean boy [played by Jason Autajay and not given a name in the episode], is a song from World War I is called "Roses of Picardy." It features lyrics by Frederick Weatherly and music by Haydn Wood, and was published in London in 1916 by Chappell & Company. It was one of the most famous songs of the First World War.
- GoofsWhen Col. Potter mentions that the brandy had been very smooth in 1917, Winchester remarks that "it should be magnificent now." Distilled spirits only age and mature when they are in the barrel. As long as they are stored properly and remain sealed, once bottled they do not change to any significant degree. Potter's bottle, assuming it remained sealed, would have been much the same in 1952 as it had been in 1917. As a wine and spirit connoisseur, Winchester would know this.

Featured review
Harry Morgan owns this episode
I was going to title this "we don't deserve Harry Morgan" but I am so glad he's here. I cannot imagine Henry Blake commanding an episode the way Potter does.
The one disappointment I have with this superb episode is that we don't get to see Winchester in command. I figure his command is rather more limited than Frank Burns' (with Margaret's help, of course), so Hawkeye is in charge. Not that anything really goes wrong, of course, apart from refugee children being allergic to tetanus inoculations.
Anyhoo, Potter. Harry Morgan plays comedy and drama brilliantly, and is often maudlin for varying reasons. But the scene where he really shines is the gathering in his tent. Even the other actors have visible tears. Harry delivers his lines exquisitely, capturing emotion perfectly. Any viewer who doesn't have their own tears has a cold, dead heart.
