  • respect to you gwyn0359...i agree with you..he was a hero.

  • Sgt Michael Willets - What Britain should be proud of and celebrated - He was a man among men.

  • mick willets "3 para" ..you are a wise man 3staffords. respect to you.you are the only person to link the song to him since i posted it a couple of years ago..your name tells me you are army/ex army...thanks for your comment...."per mare per terram"

  • RIP Mick Willets

  • How the bloody hell can three scumbags dislike this song?! They should be put up against a wall and shot.

  • I spent time in that troubled place,went out there with a bad attitude and learned that not everyone is a supporter of terrorism and came away with a different opinion.

    This song brings it all back, Too Much politics and too much BS on both sides of the fence, the ordinary squaddie and the ordinary irishman just wanted to get on with their day as peaceably as possible with out all the crap.

  • Grew up  mmmmemorrrriesssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssss

  • Why! that man saved all those people and they say british troops were bad but i think those rebels should go and suck it

    R.I.P To all Btitish soliders killed in IRELAND

    WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!

  • This song is based on true events that happened during the IRA conflict in Belfast.The lyrics represent the British soldier that gave his life to save Irish men women and children .After the IRA had planted a bomb designed to kill innocent Irish people.

    Remember that soldier gave his life,so others would have a life.LEST WE FORGET.

    Truly a hero among hero's.

    But how many more warriors have to lay down their lives for peace??????????

  • @xxxlnoone sadly too many more..

  • i trully hope we never see those days again but i hope we never forget the price some had to pay for our peace

  • one day,maybe one day-no hatred,no bigotry,no violence,no killing and more importantly no countries-just one world for us all to enjoy but i know it will never happen.god help us all.

  • I first went to belfast in 1969, when the british govenment first intervined, i had spent 4 1/2 years in various parts of northern ireland, lost two mates and for what........

  • British will not let go of any remaining territories go they have give too much up in the war

  • very sad song but one i think everyone should hear. think the world would be a better place without religion!!

  • great song

  • I HATE ALL FUCKING WARS, I WAS THERE THREE TIMES

    IN THE SEVENTIES, AND HATED EVERY FUCKING MINUTE

    OF IT, SHITHOLE! NFSE.

  • R.I.P soldier. Northern Ireland is a much better place now let's hope it stays like this clear of I.R.A scum. Ulster is British. F.G.A.U

  • @Ironside287 u know your stuff....

  • @Ironside287 i dont really understand why you needed to tell me the full story that i already knew but cool anyway. and its unlikely that the drill would have changed for such a short time and being changed back. This video was taken at some point after 1980 due to the SA80 being held. I am not sure but i think that the only time the right hand markers face the front is Open order and Right dress. he should still be looking right however as he isnt the right marker

  • i truely love this song for 2 reasons 1 i can understand the hatred but i can understand the torment i didnt want to interfere in northern ireland but i had to but thank god i didnt have to give up my life to save some one else if i had to i would of done specially kids hey we are all neighbours now the ira have stood down so chill peeps an act as neighbours in peace.

  • lol at 0:45 the coloured bloke isnt looking right

  • @Ironside287 he did actually use his body as a shield though, and he was posthumously presented the george cross

  • @Ironside287

    Don't worry about it. Just wanted to make sure Sgt. Willetts receives the respect he deserves.

  • @Ironside287

    It's Willetts.

  • got a feeling my youngest is going to join, and this will be him,he is 15.DO not want him too,BUT will not say,couse he will do opperist

  • reast in peace a soldier that gave his life for a stupid thing rip my man you are a symbol of greatness

  • god bless that hero

  • Great Song!!!!!!!!!

  • this song by harvey andrews stiill can provoke feeling, and pride in our armed forces, god bless you lads and ladies........

  • I can't see God hurting anyone . Jesus didn't cause war if man even bothered to listen to the God they claim to follow . They would be loving one another . Man is the rebellious , murderous, unforgiving , God forgives and loves so much he sent his son to die in our place so that we can have eternal life living in peace and love. A love man has forgotten how to give ,

  • Saw him perform this when i was serving in Germany at our folk club in Hannover in the 70s, there was hardly a dry eye in the house. Thanks for the posting and bringing back so many memories.

  • IF THAT SONG ISNT A WAKEUP CALL TO BAN RELIGION THEN I DONT NOW WHAT IS!!

  • God that hurts

  • they may have banned it but every soldier knew the words!

  • I used to listen to this song when I was a kid. My dad as a soldier himself loved it too, still does. Thank you Harvey Andrews!!!! xxxxx

  • When i was out there i was in a company of Heroes

  • this vid and song shows me 2 things there are still good people in the world and there are also a bunch of arseholes in the world it takes a brave man to do that pitty there arent more like him

  • People have a cold heart is all they see in a soldier is a killing machine.

    Have a heart and give respect where respect is due.

  • @TheBrummiekerr

    when you catholics have enough chavs to vote independence, I will be happy, but as it stands more real people wanna be Brits, so stop sucking you dad off and see the real world,

  • sends a shiver down my spine..song of courage and heroism...terrorism and wars only bring death and pain..

  • Because he is northern Irish fearless counts you know haha just kidding very good song heard this first of my uncle when I was about 7 now 15 still a very great song :)

  • was a kid when i heard this song,im 36 yrs old and never forgot it xxx

  • the IRA shot inoccent ppl for nothing cuz they arent goin to get wat they r fighting for!

    scummy cunts!

  • @1690Saboo Yes, that's right. It was all the Republicans fault.

  • just pure unselfishness from a massively brave man. not any of those 'other'' fuckers would do that

    exceptional behaviour from a well trained individual

  • Brave man, support our heros:)

  • This is the one song that gave me the strength during the time I spent in the army !

  • @Graham4445

    good. well done mate.it's quite a powerful song with lyrics and backbone to match

  • R.I.P Sgt Willets...Fuck the IRA . Disgrace!

  • I can Indentify with this having spent over eight years at varying times in Ulster. years later I think a lot about it, especially now seeing this video. Until you have seen a borrow load of rocks all coming at your head you simply don't know the stress of it all. I was infantry and for my part and my comrades we had no hatred of the opposition; often frustration sadness and pain and fatigue but never a burning hatred like between the comunities there. We never quite understood that.

  • this is about his son from what i know and its a cracking song if only we didn't have wars how many young lads and men would still be here today with their family's and loved ones

  • A soldiers opinion ...Without predudice to either side .. This is one of the few songs that truely reflects the total stupidity of war .. of fanatics .. of the abuse of religions and faith .. this song could be sung about wars over the last 100 years .. just change a few words and its right up to date ... lets listen before we fight .. share before we isolate . STOP LİSTENİNG TO POLİTİCİANS :: CLERGY :: AND NATİONALİSTS and listen to the people

  • this vid makes me proud !! an cany wait till i start my phase 1 tranning

  • Isn't it funny that then they were enemies, now they fight side by side for freedom from terrorists, not only for their people but for all humanity. I think a great lesson is to be learned from this. But will it.

  • @YorkGod1 I don't agree the royal family are totally to blame, I feel religion has had more of an influence 2 be honest. I've been listening to this song for over 30 years and it never fails to give me goose bumps. It is such an amazing emotional song with lots of feelings associated with it. The reason it was banned is because it was used against the British Arm and ppl ov Northern Island as a rebel song.

    I wish peace for all. . . . for ever.

  • I am still scared from my time. Unfortunately it appears the lessons have not been learned. I gave my innocence. Is that not enough?

  • oh dear after reading through many of the ' comments ' passed as an excuse for sectarian abuse i see very little evidence about what the original meaning of this video and song means to anyone. this man did not have to make the sacrifice he did but it was his human instinct to save lives . have some decency for goodness sake . how can there be a ' united ' kingdom with everyone slagging off the other ? like the words of this song ..the empire was lost a long time ago.

  • Amazing song! Funny how this is meant to be a country of free speech when this song was banned .Must only be free speech when your not speaking the truth. Disgusting.This song should be listened to by everyone.

  • a song true to it's meaning, let us all not forget who sadly were killed during those awful times on all sides, great meaningful song nevertheless.

  • The Royal Family are to blame for the troubles in NI, due the actions they took in the past!

    Great song love it!

  • @cutebigboy69 yea but was henry 8th fault that we changed religion which more or less gave us problems ever since. i agree i would like to see wales scotland and NI independent......and hopefully england become a republic, but doubt it'll happen :(

  • this song transcends sectarianism, those who hate, well they just hate. who knows? perhaps you owe your life to people like this inconsequential soldier...everything has repercussions

  • cant beilive its not on iTunes bloody hell because of the ban christ disgusting wish i could great song and meaning

  • @leo123387 get youtube converter

  • @YorkGod1

    damn yeah nice one cheers mate

  • @leo123387 cant have ya suffering, not been able to have song lol

  • this song is so meaningful & amazing ! love it! x

  • nchjgcgckgcfgckgvghcfkghchkgch­mkcfkm

  • too many gave thier lives here. a cause no one asked for. but thats the english government for you.

  • As an Ulsterman with and English wife and 3 English daughters fuck the sectarianism this is an iconic tune for all to hear!

  • @DaveGolf1st Gave you a thumbs up lad, a very true comment.

  • @DaveGolf1st Nicely said , mate! There is no fucking need for such outdated bigitory, miss placed hatred and murderous violence anymore. A fairer police service and a power sharing assembly is the only achievable outcome now. Any bastard, `loyalist`, `nationalist`, etc who takes up arms now in the name of the past bollocks deserves to be taken out by the unseen members of the intelligence and SF forces that must obviously still be in place in the province. Peace to all in beautiful NI.

  • DOSH

  • This soldier gave up his life to save many northern irish people... Who gives a fuck about secterianism?... Its a story about a young lad who gave up his life for many... If this isnt courage then what is?... Regardless of religion

  • @TheLostDemonAngel he gave his life to save the lifes of others,british,irish,ally,enem­y.he didnt care who they were.he just did it.you never think when you do something heroic.you never do when you become a hero.

  • @TheLostDemonAngel

    Thank you, from a Green Howard, who lost many friends!

  • Are you two really going to keep going round in circles on an internet site? Really?

    Grow up the pair of you, anyone that views this will know that neither of you have any intention of meeting up and battering one another so instead of filling up the comment section with crap, why don't you both PM each other instead. Nobody is impressed by your empty threats to each other. You say you are men and yet you both are acting like children!

  • And you wonder why there's so much hatred in the world? this racist crap is pathetic. The things you refer to happened years ago..why blame those today for the errors of those of the past.....

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 So it is racist to hate nationalist scum like you?? Thankfully most Welsh people are not like you and it is ironic to see that you believe you can say what you want about the English, but one hint back at you miserable whinging scum, and you bellow racism...that is the last enclave of a small and puerile mind!

  • Your welcome back to South Armagh anytime boys,,, MUWAHH HHAAAAHAAAA... Dont forget your nappies.

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 Wales does have a national anthem, it is "God Save the Queen". Best remember that you dickwit! When the welsh stop treating everyone else with contempt, then they may get some respect...right now that isnt happening!

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 Gosh, you are an offensive little maggot arent you...why do you creatures believe you are so hard done by....when in fact the benevolence shown is second to none. But to use the holocaust as an example is disigenuous and extremely foul, but then that is what we can expect from filth like you, brought up to hate.

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 How can I be inferior to anyone old son? I am British and English, you see we British are better than most and second to none and then we get the welsh nationalist filth like you whinging scum, whining about mythical happenings that only occured in the imagination of your warped parentage.

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 What is particularly odious about nationalist scum like you, is that is what you are, you believe your minority rabble rousing is what the majority want...in fact the truth is you creatures are a parody of reality. And no, you national socialists are what is making a joke of the welsh, you see it is because of your whining that the whole of the Welsh are judged.

    By the way, it was our Empire old boy, the Welsh were eager particpants in its commerical expansion.

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 After perusing your page, It seems to be somewhat hypocritical of you to call anyone a fascist! you should be bloody well ashamed of your self you cretin. You are different because you choose to cast yourselves adrift then whine like pigs becaue you are hated by the majority.

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 Quite obviously you have never been to Cornwall! And also extremely obviously, you dont know nor understand the Scots! Even worse, you dont even know your own fucking country you evil pig! fascist scum like you should be exterminated for the parasites you are.

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 A trip tp Cornwall and Scotland doesnt count old chap! As for your puerile diatribe, lets just remember the useless and whining part of any group, even in packs of hounds, are exiled....and thats why you and your scummy family live in wales, no one else would put up with your sort.

  • @MrMickroach

    A random welsh bloke who came to enjoy the music here.

    On the one hand, yes, Wales is given a very short stick, we get less funding than other proportionally sized bits of England, and less attention, but that's also due to our own government messing us over with disproportionate money going to the South.

    We also, do infact, have a national anthem, its called 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' or 'The Land of my fathers' so get your facts straight there.

  • @Dobolob576445678 Sorry to disavoiw you of your puerile notions old boy but, the only national anthem Wales has is "Giod Save the Queen". Not sure why you young people believe in your own myths but, you are very wrong. As an English taxpayer, it sticks in my throat that the bulk of my tax goes to pay for a quite useless beauracracy in wales.....if that wasnt there, then £600,000 per year would be freed up for the little principality. Stupid is as stupid does.

  • @welshforever95

    Sorry for posting 4 times, it was during down time and It told me it was error.

    On the other hand, I'm not on your side, at all, since Welsh nationalism is a halarious idea that embaresses most of us, anyone who claims to be 'pure celt' is wrong since of the Welsh outbreeding with anything we could get our hands on and you are a bit of a dolt.

    We're a nation of poets as much as warriors, you seem to have missed that.

    Was going to post that before, but as said, it wouldn't post.

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 Ah, now we have the truth, you are from that part of wales that is as ignorant and inbred as could be and you write about racism and intolerance. It is fine that you have no English genes, then we can take you for the inbred fool that you are.

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 Those from west wales, especially northwest wales, are without doubt, the most ignorant, rude and racist scum in the UK. When an Englishman goes into a post office or bar, they will immediately start speaking gaylick....Dont deny it old chap, I worked at Llandrog for a while and have experienced that foul racism first hand. tell me, why do even the people from South wales treat you as a joke?

  • Comment removed

  • @welshforever95 Funny how pot is calling to kettle. The people of south wales have humour, the people of north wales do not, the people of north wales are rude, ignorant peasants and less than 10% of welsh people speak the fucking language, but the fascist welsh nationalists insist on dictating their will on the majority, they are the true filth and scum, just like you and your evil filthy parents.

  • @MrMickroach Oh, more childish bullshit aimed at my parents, what a fucking surprise...

    You've got a nerve to call anyone racist or fascist, fucking hypocrite. And how is it obvious I don't know shit? I evidently know much, much more than you. I speak 3 different language for fuck sake, you speak one. And how old are you? Fucking idiot, you call me stupid and you continue to dig holes for yourself. You might want to calm down with trolling too mate, you got another SC member pissed with you...

  • @welshforever95 Speak 3 languages indeed, what a walt! Grow up, grow a pair and jog on you useless trog!
