Silver! Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 "They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Im happy in the knowledge that i can stand toe to toe with someone and trade punches without a care in the world , but having to run out of a boat with gun fire going off , motars, mines, barbed wire and everything else i know i would have probably cried and pooped myself more than once inside of my combats.Hats off for all those who risked/gave their lives for these shores to stay british, truly epic on ever scale from them.
