At the going down of the sun we will remember them.

Royal Marine Thomas Curry.


It saddens me once again to report two British servicemen have died while serving their countries in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the Ministry of Defence.

Servicemen Killed On Duty named
Read it Here






If your officer's dead and the sergeants look white,
Remember it's ruin to run from a fight:
So take open order, lie down, and sit tight,
And wait for supports like a soldier.
Wait, wait, wait like a soldier . . .

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen!

from A Young British Soldier by Rudyard Kipling
