My family have uncovered some poems my late great grandfather wrote of his time in WW1 and WW2 he never ever spoke of his experiences so I have made. Copies to immortalise them

1. Those are poignant words.

2. 😢

3. Blows my mind to think somebody could serve in the horror that was WW1 and have to do it all again. Do you know much about his age at the time? Where he was stationed?

4. Really interesting pieces of history.

5. Your Grandfather was a talented man

6. Super powerful. Would be great to out them to music or choral composition or something.

7. That first poem is actually very good. I could easily see it published as part of a war poems collection.

8. What a wonderful find your GGF’s poems are and thank you for sharing them. Your local history group, county museum or archive or even the Imperial War Museum may also be interested in these poems as historical firsthand accounts.
