Hull Cenotaph, Remembrance Sunday, 2018
The Guildhall clock chimes Eleven times this special day, A great silence descends as The two minutes tick away. On parade at the Cenotaph, An old man among old men (Where did the years go for In my mind I’m young again): Not in best battledress Or even Regimental Blues But I’m booted and suited With not quite bulled shoes, And the old drill moves come back So...

Premium Member For the Fallen In Flanders Field
Famished and flagging footsoldiers; facing fatigue, fitful fever, faeces and foul, foetid fungi. Fostering feelings, frustrated, for this faraway, foreign field. Forays so fraught with fine failure; forfeiting furtive and fiendish, fatally fettered from the first. Forged by such fatuous fawners, for folly to feud for a field. Forced forwards with fleetness of foot; firearms flash and fragments fly far, feigning the firmament aflame. Forces fight so ferociously, fratricide...

Premium Member Remembrance Sunday
In deep,drenched trenches did they wait To confront the foe Mud-infested and rat-swarmed. Lit fags,shielded by begrimed and cupped hands, Passing from mate to mate Against the booming background Of the heavy guns. Some shells bursting overhead Others throwing up clumps of dirt and burning flesh. Stifled screams of pain Which distant ears deny As they dread the cry "Over the top" Into the blazing...

Remembrance Sunday
My dad always choked when he tried to name, His friends and comrades who hadn’t returned, From sorties, dogfights and reconnaissance jobs, And would motion by his hands about church. The service on Remembrance Sunday morning, Would let his worn, torn-up, shredded insides out, Give him his heart of thoroughfare and ambition, Respected his silence...
