Squire niggled and bullied

Til I went off to France

Does anyone know this poem. A relative no longer with us quoted it to me and said it was about Passchendaele

Any ideas?

I died in hell ... they calle dit Passchendaele

[Simon Jones]

The poem is called Memorial Tablet.

Hopefully another pal will remember the rest of this poem

I've never read any Sasoon ditties, so dont really know what to expect ...

Dianne - I recommend having a look at Sassons ditties - they are astounding. They are all on the poemhunter website.
