Pte. Robert Hays, 1st Battalion the Royal Anglian Regiment, KIA Afghanistan 3JAN2010
I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
Flowers of the Forest
Black Watch Piper
The Soldier
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
Rupert Brooke
