Red headed boy in act of wartime heroism and homecoming
A sentimental wartime poem features a red headed boy cherished at home and serving in France. It recalls his brave service, the homefront prayers, and the hope of return, ending with a tribute to fallen and returning soldiers as peace nears. The piece sits among political notes on postwar party power, war drive results, and public sentiment.
