In our final resting fields the sky glows,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In quite fields, our bodies final resting place.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though we lie in quite green fields.

"My faith is one and ever, Federal Republic of Nigeria"

"Without a sign his sword a brave man draws, and asks no Omen but his country's cause".

You fought, you bled and you fell to protect our country from demented insurgents, though not all may appreciate you but Nigeria honours and repect you even in death.

Rest in Peace Soldiers, you have forever written your names with your BLOOD in the history of Nigeria. You LIVE in our HEARTS.










(curled from fallen Canadian soldiers of Afghanistan, Victor Ilo and Private Lackey of The Pacific)

They have fought a good fight and in all, we will always remember them that though they are gone, they remain our heroes.

RIP to the dead
