M.A. Bottomley
Memorial Gardens, Macclesfield
Just one small corner of one small column
In a small park in a small Cheshire town.
A list of names beginning with the letter B.
Beaumont, Beck, Bellfield, Biddulph,
Bingham, Birch, Birtles,
Blackshaw Blackwell, Booth,
Boothby, Sgt. Bottomley.
Bowers, Boyce, Bracegirdle,
Bradbury, Bradley, Brandreth, Branshaw,
Brereton, Brindley, Broadhead, Broadhurst.
Above them in large lettering
FRANCE, BELGIUM, EGYPT.
Shoppers pass by without noticing.
Sheila and Gary wait to collect their script,
The office workers eat their sandwiches
And do not seem to care
That a small part of their beloved England
Shall be forever foreign.
