They composed the poem after watching the film War Horse.

Screaming, the wounded cry.
Unstirring the dead lie.
Anticipating, the wives wait.
Dreading their husbands’ fate.
Marching, the soldiers move west.
Suffering, the injured can rest.
Singing to the ones in heaven
They make their way back to Devon
