Issued with our K.D., And passports duly presented, We waited in the Departure Lounge, Our Arrival point invented. Our Detachment honed for war, Our kit bags filled to overflowing, Our uniforms exchanged for Mufti, The Civilians no way of knowing That our straight back pose, Our grey suits, Would soon be changed for Battle. Blackened face, stealthy pace, And ears attuned for machine gun prattle. They were off on holiday, A fortnight of 'Fun in the Sun'. We were off to God knows where, With our best friend a black sten gun. No chance of a rest, Or the views to see, No glass of wine For you and me, No wandering abroad, And feeling free. Chilled by these thoughts Our eyes are glazed, But soon we awake, Much amazed With the Tannoy announcement Just for us, “Gate No. 3, Nicosia, Cyprus!” BUCKBUSHE JULY 1957 LAST FIGHT 6th NOVEMBER 1992 |
