The Memorial (Repost)

entry picture

To mark the 60th anniversary this weekend 


Outside the Royal Citadel standing tall and proud
Backdropped by a stunning summer sky and dappled cloud

A memorial for those who paid the ultimate price
We remember them all, lest we forget their sacrifice

For the members of 29/95 Commando Regiment
Manufactured from cartridge cases fired and spent

A commando dagger, mounted on a pile of cannonball
A tribute to the fallen, blank space for those who yet may fall

For all those lives lost in battle in Iraq, Afghanistan
Aden, Sierra Leone, Northern Ireland and Oman

We give heartfelt thanks for all you do and all you have done
For your brave service we salute you, each and everyone
