I FOUND NO GLORY IN THE CEMETERY! (WW1 INSPIED)
Up the road from me
Is the municipal cemetery
Now full , no more room
In it lay a few of those who
Died hear
There are two parts
World War One and World War two
Canadians , one Australian , a Dutchman
Doted all around the cemetery are
Men , some woman died during both wars
Dead who died while serving in between wars
Civilians lay they as well , children killed in the wrong place wrong time
Killed by bombs dropped by German Gothers , targeting a gasometer March 1916
No gravestone now to mark where they lay
A grave with gravestone of a woman killed in 1942 killed by enemy action
In the Second Word War plot , lay R A F , pilots , beside Luftwaffe pilots
Has I have walked around , reading the headstones
I have yet to see the glory they died for , that put then there below the sod
