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..

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

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

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.
