He was one OF the seven birds

having been assigned to deliver a
message OF great Importance to a
post twenty-eight kilometers
away, he flew through shrapnel
and gas, and past a squadron OF
German hawks that had been sent
out to intercept carrier pigeons
and delivered the message in

With his breast torn open,
with his wings singed BY fire,
with eyes blinded with blood, he
kept on till he had reached his
