Allister Mackay

Down beats the drummers hand to lead them on their way.
Faultlessly they march in line.
No single line astray.
Immaculate from head to toe, this is millitary perfection.
The essence of British heart : Proud, Brave and loyal.
To give your life for a better freedom, a better future.
Outward bound on a Journey from home, away from shelter and comfort, to chaos unknown.
A mass of life on a flight to destiny.
Thoughts so near, thoughts so far.
The British soldier returned.
They made it home to us.
Their eyes were full of darkness, twinkling there was no more.
