Ode to A Royal Welch Fusilier

[welchboy]

Thought I might add this for the more senior members, ( said with tongue in cheek )

Our plumes have waved by Conquest
That never shall be forgot
When many a mighty squadron
Reeled backward from our shot
In charges with the bayonet
We led our bold confreres
For Frenchmen like to stay not
Gainst the Royal Welch Fusiliers

And what could Bonapart-ee
With all his cuirassiers
In battle do at Waterloo
Gainst the Royal Welch Fusiliers ?
And eversweet the drum shall beat
That march into our ears
Whose martial roll awakes the soul
Of the Royal Welch Fusiliers.
