four hundred and forty six.
four hundred and forty six too many.
too many fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, friends family.
family left behind to fight a war at home.
home missing someone.
someone brave enough to lay down their life.
life that you take for granted.
granted its not on home soil.
soil that they fight for.
for you, for me, for us.
us the people sat quietly.
quietly the war wages on.
onwards and upwards.
The soldiers of the Great British Army.
