@oldmangimpsuit WIKEPEDIA inspired by an event which happened in Belfast "Sgt Willetts then slammed the door to the room which contained the bomb, but realising the door was not strong enough to absorb the blast, he pressed his body against the door, shielding the people on the other side. The charge exploded, and he was killed instantly."
Whether the soldiers where from Wales / Scotland /England or ulster these soldiers where our soldiers when they where murdered we all hurt inside.even today there fighting in far of lands were thinking of them,bring them home safe
I hear this song before it was heard in uk, my x brother in law was out in Ireland when it was released there and brought me a copy when he was on leave, i have treshired it ever since . thanks for the uplaod
It's a real shame Harvey Andrews isn't more widely known, as he's a gifted songwriter. My old man got me into his music when I was a nipper, he'd served over there in the 70's so it had a real emotion to it.
Love this song...my old man got me into it, he served over there in the 70's. It's a real shame Harvey Andrews isn't more widely known, he's a gifted songwriter.
This song is fiction. . and nothing more

@john111257 Thanks I was asked to find this song several years ago by a squaddie mate who loved it at the time it was released back in the 70's.
