. ''The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war,no matter how justified,shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation'' --George Washington--

A British soldier died on this hill today
A British soldier died on this hill today
Teenage in years but a soldier no less
He took the Queens shilling
His call to arms
A Mother now weeps
Warrior now rest
He died a soldier
The job he adored
His Granddad so proud
Sister in shock
Oh why at nineteen?
Why wasn’t he spared?
A British soldier died on this hill today
RIP.
