@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."

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.

@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.
