Daya Ananda Ranasinghe, Editor of Lanka Viththi, published in UK for Sinhala expatriates worldwide (http://www.lankaheritage.com/lankaviththi/) has paid a tribute to Sri Lanka's women soldiers with a verse titled:
Sister you are a flower blooming on the Sinhala land
Having caring nature of a wife, of a mother
How you could handle a gun, I always wonder
With sleepless eyes gazed upon approaching terrorists
You are a flower of our motherland that never wilts
Sister you are a flower blooming on the Sinhala land
Having caring nature of a wife, of a mother
How you could handle a gun, I always wonder
With sleepless eyes gazed upon approaching terrorists
You are a flower of our motherland that never wilts
