The Flag Comments

A fine tribute to brave men and a fine expression of anger at those wasted lives. It has gone on so long. One of my ancestors fought at Waterloo and survived, but a whole section of his regiment died in their square from cannon fire. So sad. Fine poem, Alex. I'll have to leave you now but will look at your other poems soon. It's perhaps not that strange that soldiers can write so well. Recently I read some short stories by a squaddie who served in the Falklands War. The stories were incredibly good and so real. Keep writing, Alex. This is your third 10 from me. Tom Billsborough

Well done, thanks for sharing Alex
