Name Rank and Serial Numberunknown
Name Rank and Serial Number are the only things that a POW is supposed to give to his captors. This has lead to it being used to signify lying or being unresponsive to the questioning of authority figures.

It's name, rank, serial number and date of birth, by the way.

Name Rank And Serial Number Lyrics
The sight of Faye Turney reading a statement on Iranian television starkly illustrates the shift in military doctrine over how British prisoners should behave.Until the last few years UK personnel were ordered to reveal only their name, rank and number if captured — the minimum required under the Geneva Convention.

But in the post-Cold War world a more subtle approach to 'Conduct After Capture' has been adopted, designed to fit the kind of operations UK armed forces now carry out.
Today's servicemen and women are more likely to be captured by fanatical insurgents or a rogue state faction with no interest in obeying international law, rather than the professional armed forces of a foreign state.
A British prisoner must still avoid betraying secrets, but is now trained to co-operate with their captors if they think it will help. The extent to which captured personnel choose to co-operate is a matter for their own judgment, according to defence insiders, depending on the circumstances they face.
Whatever the advantages, the new doctrine makes it easier for captors to exploit prisoners for propaganda purposes.
Mrs Turney was paraded on television on Wednesday and made to read a Wednesday and made to read a statement 'apologising' for supposedly trespassing into Iranian territorial waters — a false confession according to British officials.
She praised her Iranian captors as 'friendly and hospitable', although body language analysts believe she was acting under duress.
With the latest statement said to be issued on her behalf — calling on Britain to withdraw from Iraq — the Iranians may believe they have scored a propaganda victory.
But UK defence sources claimed yesterday that such blatant exploitation of prisoners may backfire and provoke anger and distaste among neutral observers.
In 1991, there was international disgust as two RAF officers John Nichol and John Peters were captured after their Tornado bomber was shot down over Iraq. They were paraded on Iraqi television clearly showing injuries from being beaten by their captors and forced to read out prepared statements.
Yesterday, Mr Nichol said he felt 'a sense of depression' when watching Mrs Turney on television, and recalled his sense of shame at 'letting the side down' when he was forced to make a similar broadcast.
He said: 'You can see she doesn't want to be saying those things. It's a very difficult position. She has to try to placate the people who have captured her and try to keep the
whole group safe. It's fallen on her shoulders at this time.'
During the Second World War and the Cold War personnel were most likely to be captured on the battlefield and held by a foreign power which — broadly speaking - observed the Geneva Conventions.
However, Iraqi insurgents or the Taliban in Afghanistan, can be expected to torture and kill any captives. Unpredictably hostile countries such as Iran may not go so far, but they will break international laws by parading prisoners in public.
During a full-scale war the traditional aim is to keep silent for at least 48 hours, after which any information on current operations is out of date and harmless.
But in this situation there is no secret about HMS Cornwall's mission — the details are published on the Ministry of Defence website — and little to be gained from confrontation with the Iranian captors.
The real priority is the safety of the prisoners themselves. Admiral Sir Alan West, former head of the Navy, said this week: 'Our guidance to anyone in that position would be to say what they want you to say.
'Don't tell them secrets, clearly, but if they tell you 'Say this', well if that's going to get you out, then do it. It means absolutely nothing, what they say, to be honest.' In fact, Mrs Turney and the other sailors have had virtually no training in Conduct After Capture — probably only a lecture or video. The Marines will have had at least two days' training including a mock interrogation..
