4. Alison - The Scarlet Solider

The Scarlet Solider
 
The Scarlet Solider is one of the rarest of breeds,
That was lost in the Great War you see,

Sam saw the inside of the trench but he never got to see his scarlet,
Scarlet was the colour of Britain,
Britain’s life and true power.
                                                   

Sam was one of the lucky ones,
he did the impossible.  He saw the raw,
The lion’s beak,
 As the battle reached its peak.

As he held his baby girl in his hands, 
He cursed the witch, on no mans lands.
