How does Osbourne help Raleigh?

Raleigh, one of the key figures in the play, is a very young and inexperienced young man. He is helped to settle in and understand how to get by in the trenches by Osbourne, and this is shown in the 10 quotes which I have found in Act one, from pages 16 - 21:

Osborne: Sit down, won't you?
Raleigh: Thanks.
Osbourne: I should take your pack off.

This quote tells us that when Raleigh first enters, he is so eager to please that he follows what Osbourne has said without even thinking to take his pack off.

Osborne: Will you have a drink?
Raleigh: Er - Well - 
Osborne: You don't drink whisky?
Raleigh: Oh, yer - er - just a small one, sir.
Osborne: Whisky takes away the taste of the water - 
Raleigh: Oh yes?

This again shows Raleigh's eagerness to please Osborne and he learns from Osborne that the water is bad tasting and it is good to add whisky to it.

Osborne: My name's Osborne. I'm second in command of the company. You only call me 'sir' in front of men

Oswald is again teaching Raleigh about the customs in the army.

Osborne: We've only just moved into these trenches. Captain Stanhope commands the company.

Osborne is trying to help Raleigh by giving him information about the current situation.

Raleigh: I suppose I ought to call him Captain Stanhope?
Osborne: Just 'Stanhope'.

Again, Osborne corrects Raleigh about how to address people in the army. He is trying to help Raleigh settle into army life.

Raleigh: Can we write often?
Osborne: Oh, yes. Letters are collected every day.

Here, Osborne is helping Raleigh get to know how things work in the trenches by answering his questions helpfully.

Osborne: You know, Raleigh, you mustn't expect to find him - quite the same
Raleigh: Oh?
Osborne: You see, he's been out here a long time. It - it tells on a man - rather badly - 

Osborne is telling Raleigh about the horrible effect that the war can have on people, and how they might change

Osborne: I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the others come and pick the beds they want................... Better wait and unpack when you know where you are sleeping.

Osborne outlines the sleeping arrangements and explains that the more experienced and important officers get the first choice of beds. Raleigh replies cheerfully with 'Righto!', this demonstrates how he is keen to impress.

Osborne: We never undress when we're in the line. You can take your boots off now and then in the daytime, but it's better to keep pretty well dressed always.

This is another useful piece of general advice which Osborne gives Raleigh.

Raleigh: Are we in the front line here?
Osborne: No. That's the support line outside. the front line's about fifty yards farther on.

This demonstrates Raleigh's lack of knowledge about the trenches, and how Osborne is helpful in answering his question.
