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.

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.

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.

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
