Pop Chart song from the 1980s

[seacam]

Middle or late 1980s posibly early 1990s, heard it on UK Top of the Pops at the time but was not a hit as far as I remember.

The lyrics was of a man, a solider who carried his buddy in or out of a jungle, rescued him, took care of him, maybe both got lost.

It was in the mode of "Big Bad John", that kind of thing but sounded nothing like it.

Thats it.

Great minds eh Douglas ;-)

Yes, Stan Ridgeway seems to be the one as it was from 1986 and the stories match, although I don't recall the video

Thank you ever so much Mark, that's the one.

He was an awfully tough marine missnemesis. :)

the song is Camouflage by Stan Ridgeway

[ChuckFickens]

Really?

Can't imagine how you figured that out, unless it was the previous 7 answers saying exactly the same thing from nearly a week ago!

[ChuckFickens]

If only somebody could think of the answer to this.
