the british soldier song was originally sang by harvey andrews as in this case. i have two other versions of the same song by different singers. this song is based on a real incident in springfield road ruc station in the early 70s when a soldier gave his own life to save others. in this multi clip i have used 1979 to present date footage of northern and the manchester bomb exploding (pnly for effect) any paramility stupid comments will be deleted

    • The IRA

      Ireland, not wanting to be part of Britain turned guerilla when britain attempted to take ireland for britain in the early 1800's. Ireland was pissed off with all of britain from then to about.... Now.

      The Irish Republican Army (IRA) was turned to disrupting British efforts with bombs, molotovs, rpgs, and AK47's that Britain was forced to surrender.

      Personally, i will not ever forget, nor forgive the IRA. My uncle was killed in a riot when his Armoured vehicle was damaged, he got underneath to fix it, when a IRA car rounded the corner while escaping a riot that they had caused, hit my uncles vehicle and killed him because his head was in the engine cavity.

      RIP Jerry Armstrong.

  • Propaganda

    This song is used as propaganda by the Crown Forces to degrade the I.R.A.s fight for Irelands freedom

  • Big Brother

    i only checked this song out due to an ex soldier who was injured in NI appearing on Big Brother at the moment named Steve
    There is a soldier at 3:26 who i think could be him as he looks like a younger version of him, could it be him?

  • When Will It End

    I was born in 1979, Never served in the forces, so don't really have the right to comment. I have children and live quite a safe happy life, its easy to blinker ourselves and not care, But we should, I've only just heard of this song, and it made me realise that this is by far a one off story, Things like this very sad story happens all the time, when will we look after each other and stand up for what this country stands for.If my nieve approach offends then I'm sorry.
