War - Ww1 - Oak Leaf For Bravery Poem by Paul Warren

War - Ww1 - Oak Leaf For Bravery



The German advance had caught them dead
And phone lines were cut with no message said
He was brave and through the Germans he ran
To deliver the message and put together a plan

There was a time when to survive on broken ground
He played dead and the Germans marched around
In the end he was mentioned in dispatches made
The bronze oak leaf given for his bravery not to fade
