      That's the one. I think it's a nice way of looking at all those who gave their lives in WW1 and later wars.

      Stevie Smith - Not Waving But Drowning

      Nobody heard him, the dead man,
      But still he lay moaning:
      I was much further out than you thought
      And not waving but drowning.

      Poor chap, he always loved larking
      And now he's dead
      It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
      They said.

      Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
      (Still the dead one lay moaning)
      I was much too far out all my life
      And not waving but drowning.

      DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT

      Do not go gentle into that good night,
      Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
      Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

      Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
      Because their words had forked no lightning they
      Do not go gentle into that good night.

      Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
      Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
      Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

      Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
      And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
      Do not go gentle into that good night.

      Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
      Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
      Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

      And you, my father, there on the sad height
      Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
      Do not go gentle into that good night.
      Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

      Dylan Thomas.
