...Several years ago the Illustrated London News printed a photograph from the U. S. cinema What Price Glory? It showed a disheveled, drunken Captain Flagg scuffling with Sergeant Quirt over an estaminet table. Below was a pithy caption: "Not British Discipline." Since then British Discipline has suffered many a rude shock. There was the disgraceful affair off Malta in 1928 when Rear Admiral Bernard St. George Collard was compulsorily retired for shameful conduct, such as insulting Bandmaster Percy Barnacle (TIME, March 6, 1928 et seq.).

...appears certain, furthermore, that Bohemia, the region in which the expedition has thus far concentrated, was the cultural stimuli to the north and west, where our own rude ancestors lived. The contact of these folk with Central Europe remained of great importance until the Roman Empire spread across the continent, but those who lived in the northern and western parts of the British Isles were never conquered by Rome, nor were most of the people of Germany, or the Scandinavians, among whom must be classed the English, who at this early date had not yet lived in their native land...
