Lieutenant Corporal Ryan Idzi, Sergeant Major Gary Chilton, and Sergeant Richie Maddocks are all currently serving in the British Army. They’ve never fought together on the battlefields of Iraq or Afghanistan, but they have made an album together. They call themselves, unsurprisingly, The Soldiers, and they’ve just released their first album, Coming Home. The World’s Laura Lynch has today’s Global Hit. Download MP3
