WAR
HARSH TRAGIC CRUELTY BODY COUNT COST
FATHERS SONS DAUGHTERS AIMLESSLY LOST
MOTHERS HOMEBOUND AGONY BEREFT BARREN BORN
WIFE’S TORTURED ANGUISH CHILDS MEMORIES TORN
SHIP’S DEPARTED WARRIORS FAREWELL LASTING LOOK
SOLDIERS SAILORS AIRMEN FATES FILLED BOOK
FRIENDLY SHORES PASSING DISTANT SEAS TRAVERSED
HOSTILE LANDMASS ENGAGING FORTUNES GLORY DISPERSED
MAIMED WOUNDED DEATHS OWN WISH HONOUR SHAME ASSIGNED
CATALYTIC MARTYRDOM BETROTHED ASHEN YOUTH MALIGNED
HERO VETERAN COWARD GREEN UNDERSTAND SUCH WICKED SCENE
BRAVEST MOULDED ORDINARY MEN BEHOLD BROTHERS IN-BETWEEN
RIFLE FIRED CANNON SHOT BARRACK BALLADS OUR LADS LOT
GUNS ROARING SCREAMING CRIES WHO CARES WHO DIES
EXPLOSIONS BOMB BURSTS ALL AROUND HUGGING EARTHS COMMON GROUND
SPIRITS LOWING UNDER THREAT DASHING DEEDS DEMAND RESPECT
TANKMEN TUMBLE TORRID TRACKS MARSHALLED ENEMIES FORCE
PILOTS PONDER AIR FORCE JARGON WILCO ROGER HOARSE
SEAMAN SHIPSHAPE SILENT RUNNING PLOTTING PERFECT COURSE
QUARTERMASTERS MADDENING MAYHEM PROVISIONS POSSIBLE SOURCE
ARMY SURGEONS MINDLESS MESS SHATTERED INSANE CASE
GASPING BREATHLESS BLOODIED SHELL-SHOCKED PASSIONS PACE
LEAVE PASS FRONTLINE HOUR REAR JOURNEY’S CALMING PLACE
REFRESHED FRESH FACED OLDIES BATTLE SCARRED EMBRACE
RETURN HOME LONELY MENFOLK FORGOTTEN REMEMBERED PAST
NEVER NEVER HUMAN CONFLICT TIMED FUTURE CAST
LONGING TRUCES HAUNTING DREAMS MOMENTARY MEMORIES LOST
WARRING PARTIES ARMISTICE TREATIES RECURRING WAR CRIMES COST
WARTIME WORRIES HOSTILE HEADS COMRADES BITTER END
SUFFERINGS SADNESS CHEAPLY SOLD CROSSES SORELY BLED
ENDING WAR GONE QUIETLY SIGNATORIES ALL
HISTORIC DOCUMENT FOREVER REMIND PEACE BEFORE MASS WAR
