... as the
webmaister of this website I am able to pay
tribute to our armed forces ..I hope in some
small way it helps keep their memory alive and
brings some comfort to pals at home and
faraway.
.. .
They shall not grow old as we who are left
grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years
condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the
morning,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
