Joyce Hemsley (22.9.28 / Portsmouth England)
Poems by Joyce Hemsley : 230 / 1922
British Men So True
Home Guard
busy armed force
that we remember well
formed at start of nineteen forty
volunteers of all ages answered the call
Never Home Guard we named it
my father was Captain
in the 'early-day'
Home Guard
