Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe music Potter is listening to when the Korean boy [played by Jason Autajay and not given a name in the episode], is a song from World War I is called "Roses of Picardy." It features lyrics by Frederick Weatherly and music by Haydn Wood, and was published in London in 1916 by Chappell & Company. It was one of the most famous songs of the First World War.
- GoofsWhen Col. Potter mentions that the brandy had been very smooth in 1917, Winchester remarks that "it should be magnificent now." Distilled spirits only age and mature when they are in the barrel. As long as they are stored properly and remain sealed, once bottled they do not change to any significant degree. Potter's bottle, assuming it remained sealed, would have been much the same in 1952 as it had been in 1917. As a wine and spirit connoisseur, Winchester would know this.

Featured review
The best EVER!
This episode of M*A*S*H is the finest story and acting I've ever seen on television film. Each time I watch it, a lump comes to my throat, and I hold back tears for its humanistic beauty. The scene of Col. Potter drinking a solo toast to his friends is heartwarming and sad at the same time. The ad libs, double entendres, and wisecracking are kept to a minimum, and the long periods of silence among the cast are the most memorable on film. Watch Harry Morgan's hand trembling as he holds up the glass, I don't believe that was scripted, either, it was Morgan immersing himself in the depth of the character's role. I have the episode recorded for posterity, and filed among my most precious personal possessions. There's never been, before or since, better drama put on film. Watch it and see if you don't agree!
