Soldiers of the Queen - Old Soldiers: Life After Service

Images of Old Soldiers in their Life after Service

But we in it shall be remembered,
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.
Be he n'er so vile this day shall gentle his condition.
And gentlemen in England now abed shall think themselves accursed
they were not here,
and hold their manhoods cheap, whilst any speaks
that fought with us, apon St. Crispin's Day!

from Henry V

Peachy Carnehan: Home to what? A porters uniform outside a restaurant and six penny tips from belching civilians for closing cab doors on their
blowzy women?
Daniel Dravot: Not for us thank you. Not after watching afghans come howling down out of the hills and taking battlefield command when all the
officers bought it.
Peachy Carnehan: Well said, brother Dravot
