Dedicated to all Holders of,and those entitled to - The Burma Star.
At the time,they called themselves the forgotten army of men,
Those that survived, still think as they did then,
How can they do otherwise, unless we hear what they say? with their memories of long ago, still haunting them today.
Facing in their youth,
men of different culture and race,
Who forsook all humanity in simply saving face,
A cruel regime was suffered far away from all they'd known,
Familier land, loving folk, and a
place that each called home.
But as long as there are memories and tongues to tell the tale,
Heroism of their stories,
will never ever fail,
As long as pen to paper,
the written word is read,
They will never be forgotten,
the living and the dead.
Survivors, you have to live with all that you went through.
We, without that experience, owe all our thanks to you,
We have our life and liberty on each Remembrance Day,
Because your own, with ruthlessness was so cruelly snatched away,
we will always remember.
This is for Bill,
Brother in law to Iris Gunner.
