Describe the Sergeant and his first impression of Joey.

The Sergeant thinks that Joey is simply a horse.

‘It’s an ’orse. It’s an ’orse just like the others.’

‘It may be a famous ’orse. It may be the only thundering ’orse in the ’ole thundering war brought in alive from no man’s land. But it is only an ’orse and a dirty ’orse at that. I’ve had some rough looking specimens brought in here in my time, but this is the scruffiest, dirtiest, muddiest ’orse I have ever seen. He’s a thundering disgrace and you’re all stood about looking at him.’
