The Modern British Soldier
FROM their camp base,The young men faceAnother dawn patrol.It's scorching hot,A soldier's lot,To strive and reach his goal.
In Afghanistan
Do all they can,
Win local hearts and minds.
They need to fight
With all their might,
But, long term '“ friendships bind.
Army's modern men
Now know just when
To lend a helping hand.
Win Afghans' trust
Becomes a must,
For peace in troubled land.
We so admire
Your fighting fire
In this campaign's long haul.
Remember that
We raise our hat
And send love to you all.
