Alba and Albion

Alba and Albion are just the same, but the White Isle is all inflamed 

going barmy with boredom hoping or fearing the ballot of 9/18 that 

could make or break the Kingdom by the Sea, if independence or 

separation it be: Gordon and Ray had their day as comrades in the 

Royal Artillery as NCOs. Gordon worked the big gun positions -

twenty-one milers - in his clever head as Ray sketched the target,

one a Scotsman, one an Englishmen, both Britons fighting the only

'good war' against the evil Nazi regime, but whichever side they would 

have taken brothers in  arms in war - and peace -would surely have 

been their order of the day that others should emulate I should say.
