DUNKIRK 

 Grandson to Grandma

 Was Granddad ever a soldier?
I mean a soldier in the war.
I know he’s got some medals
But what’s he got them for?
When Granddad was a soldier
Did he have a gun?
Did he march up and down shooting folk?
I bet that was lots of fun.  

Grandma to Grandson

Yes Granddad was a soldier
And he went off to fight
To fight for King and Country
And for us and what was right
I’ve seen Granddad clean his medals
And wrap them nice and neat
He put them in his suitcase
And marches down the street

 Yes to Dunkirk they go
To march with pride and medals show
Their fallen comrades to recall
Terrible price paid by them all.
So when you see Granddad with his medals on his chest
Take his hand and say - I am proud of you, and the rest
For it was men like him and those that fell
That saved us from a world of hell.
