The Troop-Train
by Vera Brittain
The Troop-Train was published in Brittain's collection, Verses of a V.A.D. in 1918.
(France, 1917) As we came down from Amiens, And they went up the line, They waved their careless hands to us, And cheered the Red Cross sign. And often I have wondered since, Repicturing that train, How many of those laughing souls Came down the line again.
