Notes	The poet-speaker of this poem discusses different aspects of war memory: memories of Stalingrad siege and the bitterness of the Germans whose relatives perished there; memories of 'bombs' in Bearna and soldiers coming to remove them; memories of the bombing of London during the Blitz; memories of his uncle, due to England's difficulties during World War II, believing fervently that now was the time that Ireland would achieve independence.
