Re: Soldiers Poem
That is definitely a poem worth reading Retlaw.
It reminds me of both of my Granddad's who both fought in the 2nd World War. They both, fortunately, returned to their families and both of them pushed all the horrors that they had seen to the backs of their minds.
They never spoke of things they'd been through during their lives but when they were on their death beds and rambling somewhat, all the horrors started to come out and although they weren't always coherent tales they were clearly disturbing them at a time when they should have been most peaceful.
People should remember the individual soldiers who did so much for us all.
