Nobody's Hero Poem by John F. McCullagh

Nobody's Hero



He's nobody's hero,
never wanted to be.
Just one of a million
who were sent overseas.
He dropped into France
on a long ago night.
Near Mere St Eglise
where he joined in the fight.
'These are the real heroes'
and he points to the Stones
of his friends and comrades
who never came home.
