Great Grandad John
My mum has taught me all about
A soldier who was great!
My Great Grandad John
She said you served in WW2
From 39-42
With courage, strength and bravery
You left your home and family.
Not knowing what might be ahead
You boarded upon the train mum said
Hugged goodbye your mum and dad
And off you went.
On April 25th each year
We make our wreaths and poppies too
It is so special to remember you
Nana gets the photos out
Medal, albums, and diaries all about.
They tell us about what you went through
And make me feel so proud of you too.
