As is becoming traditional for Remembrance Day...
A poem. By a completely unknown poet, about forgotten victims:
‘Scrapped: The Women Munition Workers of Britain, Before and After November 1918', by F W Stella Browne, published in The Call (published by the British Socialist Party)
You have done well: To you we owe our lives
Our soldiers’ glory, and our prosperous days.
Handmaids of Vulcan, sisters, heroes’ wives!
Our thanks shall match our praise.
Well--as you see--inevitable quite,
--(’Though very, very sad, of course, indeed!)--
The world is ours! We’ve won our War for Right!
Now, women, you can go! You’ve served our Need!
