Great Grandad JohnÂ
My mum has taught me all about
A soldier who was great!
My Great Grandad JohnÂ
She said you served in WW2Â
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 saidÂ
Hugged goodbye your mum and dadÂ
And off you went.
On April 25th each yearÂ
We make our wreaths and poppies too
It is so special to remember you
Nana gets the photos outÂ
Medal, albums, and diaries all about.
They tell us about what you went through
And make me feel so proud of you too.
