Today The Cry is raised As "choppers" shake the sky, Blacked up faces, Camouflage suits, Soldiers prepared to die. Previously, Tanks, roared in to life, Diesels overpowered the senses, Smoke and clanking sound, Unstoppable power where fences Barbed wire and sharpened poles, And earthworks, last ditch defences. Earlier, Galloping horses Shining in their sweat, Frothing muzzles, white circle eyes, Fixed bayonet and sword, the threat, Mustard gas and gangrene, Starvation and disease, Land-mines and ricochet bullet, Body lice and fleas. And all for some Greater Glory, Praise for God above, Hatred for our Fellow Man, Where perhaps our Love Would be a worthier battle. Life, Not Death, From cannon rattle. HENRY CHARLES MIDDLELETON, (Great Uncle) HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT, THE GREAT WAR Died, aged 19 yrs. THE AVERAGE AGE OF AMERICANS SONS. DEFENDING THE VIETNAM PARALLEL NINETEEN, NINETEEN, NINETEEN. |
