Remembrance Competition Poem

Remembrance
by Amy Stephenson and Lauren Davies
Year 5, Holywell School

The war began, year 1914
Men of all ages left their homes
They went to fight in the first world war
With bombs and guns and aeroplanes.

They dug trenches deep and tunnels long
With spoons and spades and their own bare hands
They fought in the army, risking their lives
To own the land far and wide.

4 long years of raids and bombings
With rations and deaths and diseases all round
It was hard to bear for mothers and daughters
So let’s remember the army today.
