The song was released for £1 from the band's site and ALL proceeds were donated to the Royal British Legion. It was dedicated to the last surviving British soldier, Harry Patch, from the first world war, who passed away the week previously. The lyrics were inspired by a speech he made acknowledging he was the last surviving soldier alive, the atrocities of war and his philosophy on life.
