He trusts completely in victory. There he remains far behind the front in his headquarters, he is the only character that the series survives. ===Bob Parkhurst<span class="mw-editsection" len="356" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Bob (Gabrielle Glaister) is an offspring of Bob from the second series.

Also, he has no understanding of the inputs or coordinating an army. He has his high rank due to its pure social status. He is the subordinate of Captain Blackadder, and forms for him a constant source of annoyance. He is often not aware of what is happening around him. General Melchett is a friend of Georges family and knows him personally. Also George is utterly oblivious to the hopelessness of the trench war and refuses even to look like an offer to get away. So come he with BlackAdder and Baldrick the trenches should and probably killed. ===Captain Kevin Darling<span class="mw-editsection" len="365" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">(Tim McInnerny.) A British army captain, whose last name (which translates into English as "pet" means) for him a constant source of annoyance is. He is especially busy with administrative work. He is a rival of Blackadder, and the two are settled cross each other in the series. Like Blackadder, he is one of the few who understands how hopeless and absurd the situation in which they find themselves. Only in the last episode put the two at their dispute when they must leave the trenches together, something they certainly will not survive.
