The 100th British Soldier...

Rounded numbers
Rounded lives
The 100th soldier
From the UK dies

Tears of grief
Tears of shock
The 100th soldier
Another loss

Mourning on
Mourning off
The 100th soldier
We count the cost

Of wars fought
In our name
Of loss loss
With no gain
Of cost cost
To our shame

The 100th soldier
The 1st
The 25th the 3rd
The numbered souls
On lists and roles
Names no longer called
This memoriam
The final
For them
They drew their last breath

Final thought...
Noble cause?
