Inspired by My book 2Me and My Black Dog" |
I Saw Inspired by my book: "Me and My Black Dog" I saw him step onto the train at Crewe. I saw his excitement of joining the army on his face. I saw his pride of joining turn to regret as he stepped off the coach. I saw the shock on his face when the Sgt first spoke. I saw him struggle under the weight of his issued kit as we marched across the square. I saw his sad face as the barber cut off his curly hair. I saw him hurting from the rigorous and harsh training. I nearly saw him break. I saw the joy on his face as he donned the maroon beret for the first time. I saw him the first time he jumped from a plane. I Saw his parachute open again and again. I saw the fear on his face, at the thought of going to war. I saw his exhaustion from the three-day tab I saw the blisters on his back from the weight he had carried. I saw the dread on his face as we waited for the order to charge. I saw him with adrenaline shake. I saw him run at the enemy grenade and gun in hand. I saw him fall to the ground whilst bullets flew all around. I saw his body riddled with holes as I recovered his lifeless body from where he fell. I saw the blood that soaked his clothes. I saw dismembered limbs scattered all around. I saw his buddies as they tried and failed to hold back their tears, as we placed his body bag into the ground. I saw It all then. I still do.
