(From Irish Independent)

Thomas Hughes from Monaghan was awarded the Victoria Cross for valour during the Battle of the Somme. But this hero of the British Army was scorned and cast aside by newly independent Ireland

'Lines of grey, muttering faces, masked with fear

They leave their trenches, going over the top

While time ticks blank and busy on their wrists

And hope, with furtive eyes and grappling fists/

Flounders in mud. O Jesus, make it stop!'
