The people are still sad about Paulie death. Digger talks to Paulie's soldier mates at the grave. one soldier says " He (paulie) was a good bloke and a good soldier ... we're all mates now Digger." The soldiers carry Paulie's body to the gate and his family place his coffin in his grave. That night everyone gathers together.
comment: The soldiers have referred to Paulie as a "mate." skin colour is not important. this suggests increasing acceptance of Aborigines.
