    We will remember and in respect,

    May the road rise to meet you,
    May the wind be always at your back,
    May the sun shine warm upon your face,
    The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
    Until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the palm of His hand.


    Rest in Peace

    Just read Goatman's poem. I'm sat at work with tears rolling down my face, and I can hardly see my screen. Nothing fresh to add, just echo all that has gone before.

    May you find eternal peace.

    The Black Watch Regimental Collect:

    O God, whose strength setteth
    fast the mountains, Lord of the
    hills to whom we lift our eyes:
    grant us grace that we, of
    The Black Watch, once chosen to watch
    the mountains of an earthly kingdom,
    may stand fast in faith and
    be strong, until we come to the
    heavenly kingdom of Him who has
    bidden us watch and pray, Thy
    son, our saviour and Lord.

    Amen
    2 up and bags of smoke...and run like hell

    And so the tradition continues - Regimental history continues to be written in blood. Words cannot express how all of us must feel and our thoughts go out to the families of the soldiers of those killed and those who have soldiers still serving in Iraq.

    No matter what they might throw at them - they will continue to serve their country in the finest traditions of their Regiment.
