'Wearing his kukri, the blade he is entitled to carry as a Gurkha commander, Lt-Col Collins said: "We go to liberate not to conquer. We will not fly our flags in their country.
"We are entering Iraq to free a people and the only flag which will be flown in that ancient land is their own. Show respect for them.
"There are some who are alive at this moment who will not be alive shortly. Those who do not wish to go on that journey, we will not send. As for the others I expect you to rock their world.
"Wipe them out if that is what they choose. But if you are ferocious in battle, remember to be magnanimous in victory.
"It is a big step to take another human life. I know of men who have taken life needlessly in other conflicts. I can assure you they live with the mark of Cain upon them.
"If someone surrenders to you then remember they have that right in international law and ensure that one day they go home to their family. The ones who wish to fight, well, we aim to please."
