| Notes | This is a short poem about the legacy of World War I, and mentions some specifics of the war, such as the Somme, Haig, Flanders, and 'Wipers' - the name by which Ypres was known among the British troops. The poem notes the dearth of support for returning troops after the war, and also hints that most people are ignorant of what their grandfather's generation went through in the foul mud of Flanders fields. |
