We trudged out onto the muddy battlefield, rifles armed, grenades loaded.
The first attack on us was a grenade, killing none, but injuring one. Our army suddenly started chucking grenades at the enemies’ base. Unfortunately, that was the last thing I could remember, because I was shot. I was injured, hurt, but spirit undefeated.
I had to stay in hospital for ten months until I was ready to fight again. I then started attacking like a hungry lion. Finally, the enemies accepted defeat.
Even after a hundred years, when I see red poppy flowers, I remember the frightening and ruthless WWI.
Prompt: Word – “…remember…” (Veterans Day and WW1 Centenary this week)
A very powerful description Arnav. I love the reference to your spirit being undefeated.
