Ne ObliviscarisDo not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just f---off and leave me alone.

For gold the merchant ploughs the main,
The farmer ploughs the manor;
But glory is the sodger's prize,
The sodger's wealth is honor:
The brave poor sodger ne'er despise,
Nor count him as a stranger;
Remember he's his country's stay,
In day and hour of danger.

STILTSAll ways look on the bright side of life!!!
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cros...s" since the blitz in 1940

Re: British Soldier Killed in Afghanistan
RIP.
Condolances to family and friends.Later on, she told me the whole story.
About the day she left her village. About the old man, about Cristu and Vera.
About the thing her father said.
About her baby.
When she was done, I knew a lot of men would have to die.

Soldier from 1 RIFLES killed in Afghanistan
A Military Operations news article
17 Feb 09
It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must announce the death of a soldier from 1st Battalion The Rifles on 16 February 2009.
Ministry of Defence
He died from wounds sustained as a result of enemy fire during a joint UK and Afghan National Army foot patrol to dominate ground in the district of Nawa, south of Lashkar Gah, Helmand province.
Spokesperson for Task Force Helmand, Commander Paula Rowe, said:
"Task Force Helmand mourns the loss of this brave soldier and we offer our thoughts and prayers to all his family, friends and comrades at this difficult time."
Next of kin have been informed and have asked for a period of grace before further details are released.He had bought a large map representing the sea,
Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
A map they could all understand.
