Agree.

It is like Cary Grant doing a British accent.

Also the thing sounds wrong, not a combat soldier writing this thing. The concatenation of Lefty cliches, the holding the dying squadie's hand while taking cover in the ditch while the lad calls for his mother. Oh, please.

Fantasy.

Cary Grant WAS a Brit and had an English accent; he never put one on...just made it tad more "plummy" than the Cockney one he originally had.
