I am a former Royal Marines Commando currently living in London and in my spare time I sing and write songs. 
Last year I decided to write an album for fellow ex service men and  those currently serving (Songs for the Bootnecks) which i created  largely on a marine vessel half way around the world and helped raise  funds for a charity which is clearly close to my heart - Help Our  Wounded Royal Marines and Supporting Arms.
The album was well recieved within the Royal Marines family and I was  lucky enough to be contacted by so many to tell me about their own  experiences both during and after serving.
Since then i have written another song, I wanted to write a song from a  soldiers perspective and hopefully write a song that would resonate with  the hundreds of thousands of people who have both suffered and  witnessed the loss of loved ones, for me this was the loss of a number  of my fellow Royal Marines Commando's. The song is called Lest We Forget  and it is for those heroes and friends who have made the ultimate  sacrifice, suffered physical and mental injuries and for the families  and comunities that have also suffered so much. 
I recorded the song this week for Remembrance Day from my living room  wth little more than me, my acoustic guitar and my laptop (and some  rather unwelcome traffic).
I therefore attach the link to my demo, Lest We Forget
