Captain Square insults Captain Mainwaring after it is revealed that Mainwaring got no medals after the 1914-18 war. Mainwaring believes that medals will not matter if the Germans invade. This results in a competition between their platoons. Sadly, the Walmington-on-Sea platoon's shooting is not up to scratch. Perhaps Walker can come up with a solution.
