Now everything is down to you to make the day a resounding success, I
ask all who are able to please attend, as this will probably be the
last major Rangers event, as most of us are not getting any
younger.
And the lads of the Yorkshire Branch have worked very hard for all our
benefits and deserve our full support, as there were no 40th
Celebrations available elsewhere at the time.

It is with sadness that I announce the death of John (Jack) Millar,
the father of Ady Millar (L2) On Monday 11th June 2007. I'm
sure Ady would welcome comfort and support at this sad time, from all
that know him. Thinking of you at this time of deep sorrow. It was
an honour and privilage to have known your father (Jack). RIP

The Royal Irish Rangers were one of the most distinguished and
proud regiments of the line, famous worldwide for their excellence at
their work, bravery of the Irish Soldier, faithful to friend, fearful
to foe.
On Sunday 17th June 2007 we have the chance to honour all the Irish
soldiers whom lost their lives in service of the crown, with a parade
down Whitehall to the cenotaph. These men gave all for our freedom,
it is our duty as ex soldiers to commemerate their lives, and
therefore I appeal to all who are able to attend the parade, to do so
please.
The parade forms up at 10:00hrs in Whitehall Place, Whitehall, London,
SW1
I look forward to seeing you all there
FAUGH A BALLAGH

A Mighty Band
The time has come, our work is done,
We gave it all we had,
Many men and women gone
We've won the war, not bad!
Our history is a proud one,
With many passing through,
Shouting "Faugh a Ballagh",
We've won the war, so true.
A time to mourn our lost ones,
And a time to be so proud,
God bless our fallen comrades,
We'll shout your names out loud.
We're a mix of all, we took the call,
Paddies, Liamys, Jocks and Taffs,
We'll remember all the good times,
A pint with friends, some laughs.
We can here the bomb and see the blood,
A river crimson red,
We'll pick them up, man woman child,
Yet more must mourn their dead.
But the end is now,
And we've beat them back, in our wee crazy land,
The Caubeen and the hackle,
Rest now a Mighty Band!
