Vincent Bourke

Private Bourke (an 'orrible little man) first praises the fighting abilities of the at-the-time-Sergeant Willikins to the effect that Willikins should get a medal. Alas, for insulting 71-hour Ahmed, insinuating that "all towelheads will eat anything" and calling Lord Rust "bloody", he gets bawled out. And after exchanging insults with the D'reg warrior Hashel ("greasy dishcloth-head" - "brother of pig"), the two are reprimanded by Carrot and have to shake hands and apologize to each other. The shared embarrassment lets them share a smoke afterwards.
