      You're right! Congratulations to all involved
      'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
      'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
      Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
      He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

      • Well done !!

        • After the fuss about photos in previous comps, looks like the organisers were well briefed about OPSEC/PERSEC - only one award winning team isn't photographed, just crowd shots - the following is as near as you'll get to photographic proof they were even there:

          • They can hardly hide their shock
            I knew a simple soldier boy.....
            Who grinned at life in empty joy,
            Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
            And whistled early with the lark.

            In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
            With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
            He put a bullet through his brain.
            And no one spoke of him again.

            You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
            Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
            Sneak home and pray you'll never know
            The hell where youth and laughter go.

            • Interesting that on one of the official sites the Irish unit was hailed as being from an "Allied Nation".

              • Well we aren't an enemy nation....
                For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

                  We're kinda like 'I can't believe it's not NATO'

                      • Whatever the cost of participation was I reckon it was well worth it as it reflects the overall standard of the unit and most importantly concerns a key/core operational skill/ability in marked contrast to e.g the ES. I suppose there are some in certain quarters who would prefer to talk up horses jumping at Hickstead rather than units that can kill at 1000m+.

                          • I heard they cheated.......

                            Hid the orienteering flags after they marked them so the other teams couldn't find them..........

                              ES = equitation school.
