The Call Of Duty

Rating: ★4.5
Bravest men we hailed them then
England sent her finest men
The war to end all wars to fight
A cause each one believed was right
And without a thought for their own lives
Left mothers, sisters, lovers, wives.

These were children, barely men
Set to fight a foe, and then
Return to fight another day
Till Fate delivered Judgement Day
Among the mud and stench of war
They rest their bones and breathe no more.

The role, contribution and sacrifices of young soldiers will always be looked upon with awe and pride: And without a thought for their own lives Left mothers, sisters, lovers, wives.
