<div>Taken from another site here is a poem written by a 13 year old girl ,and her teacher saw fit to send it to the Royal British Legion who read it out today There Lie Forgotten Men They lie there in their thousands The last rays of sunlight Catching the white of the gravestones Lending a poignancy to the moment Numbering in their thousands they lay Deserving remembrance And yet the scarred green fields are empty Nothing remains here The processions of people vanished with the years Their sacrifice all but forgotten She stands there alone At the edge of the silent place And she is shocked New wars brew and these forgotten men Will play no part in them The dead silence warns no ears but hers In great halls in moments of great decision What they fought for is forsaken And by days end new gravestones Appear on the blood red ground She finds what she seeks 'Sgt John Malley Age 27' His life brutally ended And she stands by his grave But he can give no answers And she weeps for him For the empty hole he left behind And for the new emptiness Soon to join the black chasm And her tears join the flood Rebecca Sullivan</div><div></div><div></div><div></div>
