Today is the 100yr anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. Read here Please
At 7.30am I sat in my kitchen in silence and observed the two minute silence in reverence for all the English, French and German soldiers who died in not only that battle but in that war…To end all wars , but also the those who died in the next war and the next and so on! From all the countries in the world.
Death, Desolation, Destruction!
Men taught hate men taught to wait til death comes to claim them
Stink, Stench Smell
Bodies sinking in the mud tell their own story.
Is this man’s best glory.
Drench, Damp Dripping
Their guns are filthy,bullets all spent . They all gave up hoping.
Boom,Bang Whistle,
They no longer hear they no longer fear the hair on their necks no longer bristle.
Dead all dead and left to rot .
This was the war to end all wars ……….. How soon we all forgot
Nothing has changed in the theater of war they are battling still, on the fringe they know the score.
Shout , Scream Squeal they will still advance they have lost the ability to feel.
No longer human their souls are worn out and why are they out there? Can you answer beyond any doubt.
Death, Desolation, Destruction!
Men taught hate men taught to wait til death comes to claim them.
On the first day of the 141-day campaign, July 1 1916, was and still is the deadliest day in the history of the British Army. Almost 20,000 British Empire soldiers lost their lives in just 24 hours.
Poem written by me
