God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
Thank you for the info Pete, I will be attending with my daughter and hopefully one or two more family members if they arrive in the U.k. as planned
After the ceremony we shall be retiring to the Willow Walk Wetherspoons opposite Victoria Stn. everyone welcome.
