Debate on private quelch got the right treatment at the end
Answers
Good morning everyone present here. I stand in front of you to express my views on ‘Private Quelch got the right treatment at the end’; and I am going to speak in favour of it. I strongly feel he got the right treatment. Undoubtedly he was a promising trainee at the army training depot. However, he had a serious flaw in his personality. He was a show off. He would learn details about certain things that were being taught during the training, and boast off his knowledge during the training session. For example, during the musketry training, he interrupted the trainer and corrected him about the exact speed of the bullet when it was fired. He interrupted his instructors quite frequently.
Fortunately, the musketry trainer ignored his impudence. But Corporal Turnbull could not be trifled with. When the Professor tried to correct Corporal Turnbull while he was giving a training lecture on hand grenades, the latter got offended. He invited the Professor to give the lecture in his stead. After the session he made a declaration. He told the platoon that he was assigning the permanent cook-house duties to the Professor. Every trainee in the platoon was happy to hear the news.
I feel it was a just punishment for the Professor as he did not know the basic etiquette, ethics, decency, and respect for seniors. While working in the kitchen he must have realized his mistake.
