26 July 1999: Lest we forget

The guns & their breeches, emptiness of the eerie silence….
The fluttering of the tricolour, a vision of effervescence….
‘The last post’, of the courageous & their remembrance….
The names of the ones still out on patrol, fables of bravery & its omnipresence….
As the sun rose again on the horizon today;
The brass….still glinting,
The chill in the air….still overwhelming,
The heights….still intimidating,
The cliffs….still beckoning,
& yet….
The plaque to the fallen….forever TOWERING!!!!

19 YEARS ON……

KARGIL LEST WE FORGET……
