land fit for heroes

[james armstrong]

                          A POEM
'Welcome them home to a land fit for heroes.'… King George V.  1918

Foreigners rush our land to buy
For the land our heroes had to die
To welcome them home  a king had to lie
Now 'Land for  houses!' Englanders  cry
The wind in Flanders  gives a sigh.
And Basra?
JA
