Mummy, mummy when is daddy coming home tonight?
Walking, digging, hiding, fields, helmets, muddy trenches
Waiting days
Mummy, where is daddy?
Boots, climbing, shooting, bully beef, horses, donkeys
Waiting months
Mum, I want to see daddy
Remembering, surviving, respecting, thanking
Waiting years
Mum, dad's gone isn't he?
LEST WE FORGET
