To those Brylcreem Boys in Royal blue
Wings so proud and polished too
To those men who chased amongst the clouds
And wore the heavens as their shroud
To those frightened souls who stormed the beach
Firing redemption from the breach
To the jolly tars in Navy whites
Who clung to life in oily nights
To Woodbine’d faces on the field
Smiling for the Pathe reel
To those who scorched in desert sands
And drove the Fox from foreign lands
To those who age with dignity
Who gave their youth and friends for me
To those now taken by the earth
I pray that you have found rebirth
To all who served among the ranks
My deep, sincere, eternal thanks.
Thank You
