THE HOMING BOMBER.
Like a tired bird, homeward
winging through the dawn the
bomber flies; covered with the
morning glory, wounded men with
weary eyes see the white walls
of the island sloping to the
channel form [how] dear that
shore must seem to them! how
sweet the first faint sight
of home. France slips back into
the mist, above the framework
down they pass, comforted to
see once more the tender green of
English Grass. Back to base with
hearts content they bring their
bruised and battered plane.
having won another battle,
coming home to fight. again.
