You soldiered on and your personal ambitions were gone
You knew that the enemy you did defeat
Serving your time as a driver during your time in the forces
Was quite a big responsibility
Once again you did your country proud.’
Retailing at 12, Rosaleen's book is available online at Chipmunkapublishing.co.uk.
