WAR PICTURES
Reading edition
“German Retreat From Arras” “Official Films”-they came After “Corinne and Her Minstrels” Had ministered to fame. After “Corinne and Her Minstrels” Had pigeon-toed away, We saw where bits of churches And bits of horses lay. We saw bleak desolation; We saw no unscathed tree. We shivered in our comfort And murmured: “Can it be!” But later, walking homeward, Repeating: “Is it true?” We brushed a khaki shoulder And asked no more. We knew!
