FORGOTTEN ARMY. There is a large forgotten army, Who for their country have bled and died, Leaving behind them wives and children, Brothers and sisters who cried.   No bugle marks the passing of these men, No beating drum or fusillade, No flying colours, measured tread, Few monuments of stone are made.   No day when flowers are strewn, At the foot of an inscribed stone, When men march proudly With their comrades and memories, alone.   This forgotten army of the dead Have served their country well. It's fitting that we remember them, And their sad story tell.   © Ian Winstanley 1997
