THE FINAL BATTLE


Hand on hat,scarf wrapped tight Black brolly angled low; Each step a battle won. A frail determined figure On this year's reunion. Face down in the mud He was later found, A note clutched in death's grip "Better to die upon your feet Than to live upon your knees" No-one remembers why

No epitaph they wrote Yet engraved thereon ..this final note.
