So I see. It is heartbreaking to see their faces in happier times. :(

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!




Sgt. Nigel Coupe, British Army, 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, KIA Afghanistan 6Mar2012






I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Flowers of the Forest



Black Watch Piper

The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Six of our British Allies killed in a single incident - vehicle tripped an IED. As usual, the Islamists taking us back to the Seventh Century. All I can say is that I am appalled at the depths to which they descend. I thought when I came back from 'Nam that I had seen a lot of atrocities - by the other side, of course. Little did I know what was waiting for us in the 21st Century. God save us from these barbarians! God save our children from what is to come! God give our troops the grace, strength and skill to vanquish this evil foe!
