Men of U.S. 64th Regiment, 7th Infantry Division, celebrate the news of the Armistice, November 11, 1918 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
We will mark attendance
At the end of the parade
All the right notations
Crisply will be made
So the information
Is faithfully relayed
And needed security
Never is betrayed
All the little soldiers
Marching in a row
See the dread required
Loyalty they show
We will sound the roll call
Sadly as they go
Yet their destination
None of us may know

Civvy Street appears to be the destination for most of the soldiers currently serving in the British Army after the current wave of government cuts.
It’s sad…the bad economic mgt of both big business and government combined has a lot to answer for!
