In the Summer of 1915

~ Gregor MacMinto

A shell fell
On your brave son, oh
Mother of many
Mothers.
Instant heaven
Through mass mechanisation.
The glorious trenches soaked
In king and country.
Bangers and mash,
And posters and scarves
For the boys at home and away.

Looking at the past, with an eye on the present (and vice versa), I post articles and images on everything from student protest to popular culture. I also post my own photographs, poems and short stories. I take a particular interest in Scotland and the Scots language.
