PC Dave Quinnan, like many of his colleagues, had not decided to join the police force immediately but had instead trained as an electrician and had worked on oil rigs in Aberdeen. His family is quite large and he is a good friend but he did not join the police to be a good samaritan. Instead he decided that someone had to keep the peace and hold authority and thought that it might as well be him. Dave then joined the police force, but only arrives at Sun Hill one year later. He chooses to defy regulations by continuing to put his electrical skills to work for some extra money but he eventually worries that this will be discovered. Dave initially judges people on first appearances but soon learns to be more cautious. He is a good friend, especially to PCs Tony Stamp and Steve Loxton and is consistently backed by Sergeant Bob Cryer when his methods are seen to be somewhat unconventional. When he was stabbed by a gang of youths on the Jasmine Allen estate he subsequently suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. After an affair with PC Polly Page and a marriage breakdown, Dave left Sun Hill, transferring to SO10.
Smith is a family name (surname) originating in England. It is the most prevalent surname in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, the second most common surname in Canada, and the fifth most common surname in Ireland. The surname Smith is particularly prevalent among those of English, Scottish and Irish descent, but is also a common surname among African Americans, which can be attributed to black slaves being forced to adopt the name during slavery and never changing the name upon the end of the era of slavery and after the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. 2,376,206 Americans shared the surname Smith during the 2000 census, and more than 500,000 people share it in the United Kingdom. At the turn of the 20th century, the surname was sufficiently prevalent in England to have prompted the statement: "Common to every village in England, north, south, east and west"; and sufficiently common on the (European) continent (in various forms) to be "...common in most countries of Europe."
terror and death
from the sky
all out attack
all that one can see, turned to rubble
thousands are dead, the battle draws near
no retreat
nothing clear at all in sight, war
cold fear, into no-mans land, rifles held high
the devil's burning sky
rush forward, aim to shoot and kill
machine gun fire, aim to shoot and kill
countless bullets hit your body
to almost certain death, live or fall
to bleed and die
aim fire, is this battle your turn to die, war
shiver with fear, there is no escape
the end comes slowly
order of death, trenches knee deep in blood
in unending glorious war
