WELCOME VIKING ~ Thanks for your first poem and a very poignant reminder od the pointless sacrifice of life in the Trench Warfare of WW1 (1914 - 18). Personally I agree with the words of Alfred Owen who died in France on 4 November 1918 ~ one week before the War ended. Owen wrote "My friend you would not tell with such high zest # To children ardent for some desperate glory # The old lie # DULCE ET DECORUM EST - PRO PARTIA MORI. It is sweet and beautiful to die for one's Country. Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
