    A WW1 poem by Lutonian Austin Small, son of LTFC player Gilbert Small.

    THAT LITTLE WOODEN CROSS

    In the glorious fields of Flanders,
    Where the sad sweet poppies wave,
    And cornflowers keep their vigil
    O'er many a lonely grave,
    There stands a little emblem,
    Rough hewn and void of gloss,
    But it tells its own life story -
    That little wooden cross.

    It tells of a khaki laddie,
    Brave in the joy of life,
    Who sprang to freedom's banner
    And joined in the mighty strife.
    It whispers of life's great gamble,
    And it tells who 'won the toss.'
    It marks a life's ambition -
    That little wooden cross.

    It tells of an unknown hero
    Who fell in the great onslaught,
    Sacrificed on the altars
    Of Mars and Juggernaut.
    It tells of noble deeds unsung,
    Oe'r field and floe and floss.
    It closes life's great chapter -
    That little wooden cross.

    Many have won promotion,
    Medals and honours great,
    But many, many thousands
    Have won to heaven's gate.
    And there in the cornflower's kingdom
    Nestling among the moss,
    They have won the greatest gift of all -
    A Little Wooden Cross.

                    I had the privilege of watching my son, now a serving Royal Engineer, take part in the remembrance parade that took place in the town close to his barracks yesterday.

                    Very proud of him.

                        I’d better not tell his Mum that, she’s still coming to terms with him being a couple of hours down the road!
