Sylvia have you read my 'Dark Mantle Of Death 1917'.The occasion depicted there could have taken place in that very field about which you so skillfully wrote. Best regards, Sid John.

Such deep peace after such darkness, you have given the reader calm with your words.This poem reminds me of the song called 'Brothers In Arms 'by Dia Straights and amazing piece of heartfelt poetry and song.Love Duncan
