Fay, I love - though 'love' is perhaps not the right word here - the bittersweet ironies of this poem: the innocent, rural idyll of that society - which I too remember - into which nevertheless, your uncle's killer was born... for this stark contrast, your poem deserves a place in any anthology of 'war' poems; it adds its own unique dimension.
