Well, fans (if I have any fans) It is the Penultimate scene. Thank you for being patient with me and I hope to write many more plays after this. If you have just started reading this, READ THE OTHER SCENES FIRST! Many thanks.

After the air raid siren is heard, the stage lights up. The Old Man has disappeared and the stage is made up to look like a part of a woods. There is marching coming from off stage. The Home Guard march on.
Sergent: (When they get to stage center.)(Loud) All halt!
The Home Guards all stop, nearly bumping into each other
Sergent:(Loud) About turn!
They do as they are told
Sergent: Right, you 'orrible lot, we're going to do some patrolling!
Home Guard:(All but two) Yes sir!
Sergent: Right! Corporal Blacey, Private Georges the steel works!
Two Home Guardsmen salute and march off
Sergent:(Still loud) Private Jones and Blenkinsop you have woodland duty!
Jones and Blenkinsop:(Moaning) Sir
Sergent:(Louder) Get on with it!
The boys march off
Sergent: Right the rest of you, we're on village duty!
The rest march off
The stage goes black for a second, but then lights up again. The two boys are walking on stage. One has portable radio equiptment on his back, this is Blenkinsop. The other is Jones.
Blenkinsop:(Angrily) Why do I have to carry the radio? It weighs a ton!
Jones: You're the one who said to the Sergent that you was good on radio
Blenkinsop: I didn't expect that it would be me carrying it!
Jones: Ah well
Two Boy Scouts jump from behind a couple of bushes. They are armed with potato guns
Boy Scout One: Alright you Nazzi spys stop there!
Boy Scout Two: Yeah!
Blenkinsop:(To Boy Scout One Don't I know you?
Boy Scout One: I don't talk to Nazzis
Jones: We're not spies! And the word is Nazi
Boy Scout one and Two: Aha!
Boy Scout One: Only Nazzis would know that!
Jones: If we give you identification, will you go away and let us do our duty?
Boy Scout Two: Alright, show us some ident'
Jones and Blenkinsop fetch out their Ration Books and show them to the Scouts.
Boy Scout One: Alright, you may pass
Blenkinsop: (Annoyed) Thank you
