As per British newspaper Metro, the picture was taken on Remembrance Sunday, with the soldier in question wanting to honor those who hadn’t made it home.
The image shows eight pints on a table, with a photo of a fallen soldier beneath each drink and a poppy straddling the top of each glass.
It’s said the soldier responsible simply walked into the bar, bought the drinks, drank his own pint and then left.
The image, meanwhile, was posted to Facebook and then retweeted by a fellow soldier. It’s since received thousands of shares, with many praising the unnamed soldier’s incredible gesture.
