No more girls in pretty dress

More coffins will arrive back
More families dressed in black
Not the homecoming they once planned
Now just a coffin and a band

No more nights down the mess
No more girls in pretty dress
Not for them, a lads night out
They have had, their last shout

Heads will bow in the street
Once with hearses they do meet
Flags are lowered by brothers true
A Solemn salute just for you

Your fight is over you paid the price
It was your last throw of the dice
But be sure lads we will never forget
At the rise of the sun and at sunset

You had the courage , you stood strong
You questioned not the right or wrong
Now sleep a while you deserve the rest
Whilst we mourn the loss of you, the best
TD

To Ben ,the crew of XV230 and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We will remember them
