Granby's under a whole lot of stress, yes. I think Temeraire tells him to not be ridiculous, Laurence needs the training and the harness crew can practice on Temeraire for the time being. .
"History canon! Speaking of which, I really need to post some entries from this awesome diary I'm reading from the American Civil War, of a white surgeon who served in a black regiment... and he's actually surprisingly not racist. He is absolutely adorable in his day to day activities. I need to post bits of it." Awww, yes please!!! Non-racism in history was awesome. I used to genuinely worry that I would have been horrible if I'd lived in that time, but I've gone on enough fruitless crusades with no benefit to think that I still would have been okay at life.
My grandfather's knee was squished in WWII, but he told 12 different stories and no one knows what's right. I think he was in his Jeep driving back from the front lines near Bastogne when a German shell flew too far and took out their vehicle. He was a brilliant engineer, but they made him be a cook because he'd taken home ec.
