The Regimental system of the British army always tended to inspire a real feeling of comradeship amongst the soldiers. My Grandfather on my mothers side always told me when he fought in the second world war, he fought not for King and Country but so as to not let his regiment down.

I'd put money on it that they simply didn't want to leave their mate behind.

Always remember, it's a fine line between heroism and stupidity. The line is usually drawn in whether you live or die.

Stupid you can call it, but it takes a huge amount of courage to do what they did.
