Just A Common Soldier, also known as A Soldier Died Today, is one of the most popular poems on the Internet[1][citation needed] . Written and published in 1987 by Canadian veteran and columnist A. Lawrence Vaincourt,[2] it now appears in numerous anthologies and on thousands of websites. The Australian Legion included it in their video tribute, Victory in the Pacific, and it was a central part of the 2009 Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
