There is war, there are soldiers and there is gore People dying, people trying, simply to stay alive Over there. What is that thing? It looks like a person pointing a gun at me. Will I be alive to see tomorrow? There has been so many deaths already, how could I know?
Through the eyes of a British soldier
What weapon is that person holding? I can hear a loud song, like chanting and screaming, what are they saying? I am scared but also feared by lots of these people How will our plan go? Will it work? I don’t know but I hope it does.
