Private Quelch was a serious looking,
lanky, stooping and bespectacled man
whom the writer met at the training centre.
He was very fond of showing off his
knowledge and was in the habit of
sermonising. So he became an object of
fun, sarcasm and was nicknamed
‘Professor’. During lessons of musketry, he
would interrupt the Sergeant during the
lecture and try to correct him. Private
Quelch could answer a lot of questions
and when others marvelled, his standard
answer was, “It's all a matter of intelligent
reading.”
In course of time, the writer and his
teammates discovered more about Private
Quelch. He was very competitive, wanted
quick promotion and always tried to
appear better than others. He read a lot,
attacked his instructors with questions and
on every occasion tried to belittle and
overshadow others. Private Quelch’s
behaviour was very condescending and he
would try to appear exceptional before his
seniors. Whether it was to identify an
aircraft or handling of a rifle, he would
tower over others and irritate them. He
was unstoppable in his pretentious
behaviour.
Corporal Turnbull, who was highly
renowned for his toughness, was not a
person to be taken lightly. When Quelch
tried to correct the corporal, he got
offended and asked Quelch to change
places with him. Though Quelch delivered
a brilliant lecture, it was for sure that he
had stirred up trouble. Corporal Turnbull
took his revenge by delegating Quelch for
permanent cook house duties. But who
could stop Quelch, his sermonising
continued even within the four walls of the
kitchen. However, the writer and his
friends had a surge of immense relief that
they were temporarily rid of a great
nuisance like Private Quelch.
