The Movie "Zulu"

[Steppenwolf]

In the movie "Zulu" Sgt. Windridge sends two Welshmen to check a hill. One of them forgets his rifle and the Sgt. tells him not to forget his "Bando you dozy Welshman". What is the word, bando, bandup or? I have listened and I can't make it out.

Are you sure it was not bandoleer? On the other hand if he didn't have a rifle, a bandoleer would have been rather useless.

Thanks Jean, I have googled just about every conceiveable variation of those letters without result. I even search for British 19th century slang.
