SummaryThe Battle of Gate Pa by Prabhanmol from Gate Pa School was part of an entry by Room 15 into the 150th commemoration of the Battle of Gate Pā Poetry Poster Competition (2014). Main BodyThe ground shook with cannon balls shooting above. Hour after hour with no food, we sat in our trenches. More and more British soldier's arrived. The troops shot the whole day. Loud noises came, we were scared. Soon they thought we were dead. They started heading towards our pa. In a shock, we attacked out of our trenches. The ground was filled with blood and dead bodies. Many British soldiers died. The battle of Gate Pa is my home.
