RIP to the two Men of The Black Watch Battalion, Royal Regt of Scotland and to the soldier of the Royal Welsh.

Brave men doing their job for a governement and people who in the main don't give a damn.

Sleep well lads

One Coy has just returned with 19 Mech. To be replaced by another attached to 1 Mech.

Not a good start to a tour.

Bad news about those lads i know a lot of the blackwatch from their fally days ! they have lost a lot of lads in this worthless war time bush and Blair put combats on and sampled for themselves some of the sand the lads are dying in! hopefully brown will face up to and admit the failures and sort it out! whatever the regiment whatever the theatre we are all brothers in arms! R.I.P. :(

RIP lads. Stand fast, and have a glass of port whilst you're up there.

This just angers me. I wish we could all just walk away from any major disaster we have caused....... I hope Gordon has the good grace to offer his sympathies personally to the jocks families. Especially as one of the jocks came from his constituency.
