At Their Posts

Summary

This poem was inspired by a visit to a Shot at Dawn memorial - a visit I made with a good friend, and would not have made without him. Thank you, Jason :) This poem was written to try and convey the finality, and the horror of the mass killings of British soldiers by their own men. Many were executed wrongfully, as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental illnesses that disabled soldiers were not understood. Many soldiers also deserted their posts or ran from battle. Indeed while not an honourable act, no man can be expected to endure the hell they did. Many of these men were not given fair trial either, and consequently were murdered on the orders of a warped authority. Another thing I found truly horrifying was the age of the victims. I found two in their 40's. All others were, by large majority, 17 - 29. Too young to die. I hope you enjoy this poem. And may our fallen heroes rest in a perfect and eternal peace for their service to our country. Thank you so much for making the sacrifices that you did in your efforts to secure the safety of your people.

Summary

I am aware this poem is not my greatest, but neither was is supposed to be. I wrote this years ago - so long, in fact, I can't remember it, but I stumbled across it today and thought the message was still something I believe in, so here it is. It does flow awkwardly in places, so my apologies for that, but I hope you enjoy.

I felt inspired to write about the former greatness of Britain, and this happened. I wrote this poem on 17/03/2016 - so exactly a year and 3 months ago on the day that I am publishing it here. I had to edit it a bit as it didn't read well, but now I'm happy with it so, yeah, hope you enjoy.
