Question

Character sketch about corporal turnbull

Answer 1

Corporal Turnbull was a young man, but he was not a man to be trifled with. He had come back from Dunkirk with all his equipment correct and accounted for. He kept his kitten in his pocket. He was admired by the trainee soldiers as their hero, and they used to tell each other that he was so tough that you could hammer nails into him without his noticing it. He had complete control over his emotions. When Private Quelch offended him with his impudence and audacity, he did not lose temper. He listened to Quelch’s arguments patiently. He even offered him to give lecture to the squad. However, he knew his power. He knew how to hit back mortally. He taught Quelch the most befitting lesson by appointing him as permanent cook in the mess kitchen.
