.          Here's to the British Solider
By Ian A. Millar
The American Spirit - July 4, 1976

Here's to the British soldier
Who stood fast behind the King,
He fought to halt rebellion
Of his loyalty I sing.

Here's to the British soldier
Who marched with gun and pack,
He crossed a dozen battlefields
Beneath the Union Jack.

Here's to the 'British soldier
Who stood fast in mind and will,
He met the rebel rag-tag army
On the heights of Bunker Hill.

Here's to the British soldier
Who went where he was led,
He formed in squares far battle'
In his uniform of red.

Here's to the British soldier
Sniped at from wall and ridge,
He marched all the way from Boston
To be slain at Concord Bridge.

Here's to the British' soldier
Who's blood stained the swollen stream,
He stood his ground and did his best
To crush the rebel's dream.

Here's to the British soldier
Who had made the gallant stand,
He lies in forgotten corners
Far from his native land.



History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or timid.
----General Dwight D. Eisenhower-------
