Remembrance
(In memory of Great-Grandfather John O'Sullivan, Lost in Gallipoli, 1915)

His last letter home
was written in great haste
under a foreign moon

Death the next port-of-call
out on a darkening sea,
He requested woodbine, asked after friends
and neighbours
and wrote;
'Dear Wife, remember me to the children.....'
