A National Servicemans Farewell to Cyprus 

Sent in by
Dave Cranston 
ex Royal Ulster Rifles

  Yes I remember when hanging about, 
waiting for the 'Stand to' shout. 
Off we would go into the hills, 
To try and get a few more 'Kills' 

I've had my sorrows ,had my woes, 
Now my service is at its close, 
Although I'm glad my time is done 
I can always say I had some fun, 
I know the usual thing one hears, 
from an N.S. ,man just done two years 
But when I'm home I'll be proud to say 
I served with the 'RIFLES' all the way 

If you have a anecdote, funny story, limerick or song that you remember from your service, we would like to publish it.
Please send your stories or songs to James Paul
