Geocache Description:

Perhaps Iron Maiden's most recognisable song, certainly deserving of a multicache starting at the wonderful new Christchurch RSA headquarters. Head to the listed co-rds and find the Wall of Remembrance outside, which will give you the information you need to locate the final resting spot for the Trooper Cache. The cache is an eclipse tin hidden behind stones and sticks


We Will Remember Them

The Foundation Stone was laid in 19AB

The original building opened on August 10th 19CD

Written by bassist and founder-member Steve Harris, the song is based on the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava 1854, which took place during the Crimean War,[2] and inspired by Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name.[3] The track has been the subject of much praise since its release, with AllMusic describing it as "an all-time genre classic that boasts guitarists [Dave Murray] and [Adrian Smith's] most memorable harmonized lead riff, plus that trademark galloping rhythm,"[4] while Mick Wall comments that it is the song "which most Maiden fans from those days still recall first when you mention the Piece of Mind album

A regular fixture in the band's concerts, vocalist Bruce Dickinson has always waved a Union Flag during live performances and, more recently, has begun wearing an authentic red coat uniform which would have been worn during the battle on which the song was based.[8]
