WO2 SSM Kev Sharrock's poem
Inspired by John McRae "in Flanders field" and the moving last post at the Menin gate.
It aims to tell the story of a soldier killed by gas after going over the top into no mans land. He remembers his daughter as he lay dying and sees her mourn. A ghost now, he sees his gravestone at Tyne Cot and visits the Menin gate during remembrance day and decides to go to heaven when joined by his daughter Amy.
