Sapper Luke Allsopp, who died on 23 March, 2003, aged 24, was a larger than life character and a
popular member of his Regiment.
Sapper Allsopp of 33 Engineer Regiment (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) was killed in an ambush by
Iraqi forces in the southern Iraqi town of Al Zubayr. Staff Sergeant Simon Cullingworth was killed
in the same incident.
Sapper Allsopp, who was affectionately known as "Muscles", had served in bomb disposal units in
Kenya and Cyprus before his posting to Iraq.
A subsequent inquest found that Sapper Allsopp and Staff Sergeant Cullingworth had been "unlawfully
killed" by Iraqi military intelligence.
~**~Wind Beneath Our Wings~**~
Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in our shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let us shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
So we were the ones with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Did you ever know that you're our hero,
and everything we would like to be?
We can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but we've got it all here in our hearts.
We want you to know we know the truth, of course we know it.
We would be nothing without you,
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Did you ever know that you're our hero?
You're everything we wish we could be.
we could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Did we ever tell you you're our hero?
You're everything, everything we wish we could be.
Oh, and we, we could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath our wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath our wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let us fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath our wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high we almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath our wings.

FALLEN SOLDIER
Fallen HeroI stare at the coffin;
Draped with the nation's cloth.
I'm momentarily startled;
As the guns go off.
Another fallen soldier;
Being laid to rest.
I struggle to breathe;
For this tightness in my chest.
The bugler so smooth;
As he hits every note.
It is hard to swallow;
Because of this lump in my throat.
Tears fall like rain;
As I look to the sky.
No matter how many times I hear it;
Taps still makes me cry.
The bugle now silent;
As we pray for the dead.
I gather myself;
As I bow down my head.
Lord bless these heroes;
Who have given their lives.
Comfort their children;
Their husbands and wives.
Let us not forget;
They have given their all.
