Remembering Ellis-Allen

Suffolk ACF,

stand at ease.

This one's for you,

Lance Corporal.

Yeah.

We carry the weight of the rain in the east

August eighteen, we're searching for peace LCpl Ellis-Allen,

we hold to your name Through the good and the bad,

we remember the flame (we remember you,

yeah)

A cadet in the ranks,

standing tall in the line Suffolk ground beneath us,

marching in time But the shadows grew heavy,

a burden unseen Now we look at the photos of where you

had been Every drill,

every camp, every laugh we would share Now there's only an echo

of you in the air

We talk of the hard times,

the cold and the dark But we keep the bright moments to

rekindle the spark No uniform covers the pain that we hide We

carry your memory, marching with pride Rest easy,

young soldier, your shift is all done We'll carry your story

under the sun

(rest easy,

soldier)

We carry the weight of the rain in the east

August eighteen, we're searching for peace LCpl Ellis-Allen,

we hold to your name Through the good and the bad,

we remember the flame (we won't forget)

August twenty-six, the day that it changed But the bond that we

built can never be estranged

Ellis-Allen, forever in our hearts Dismissed,

cadet.

Rest in peace. (salute)
