Has anyone read "Killed in Action", by Harry McCann? It's a WWI poem, about a page long, and I know it's in A Treasury of Australian Popular Verse. If anyone has it, or knows where I can find it on the net (I've already searched Google and a few poetry sites), give me a yell.
Here's one, but it's not by McCann, but by some guy named John A. Moller. Is this the one you're looking for? http://maori2000.com/moller/kia.htm If not, sorry I couldn't help you further, I searched for it also, and like you, couldn't find much else.
That isn't it - but thanks for looking. If it's any help, each verse has four lines, in a 16-15-16-15 syllable rhythm. All this, and I can't remember a full line!* *Wait, two - "Could the Turk have seen this picture as his trigger finger rounded? Would his sights have blurred a little if he (heard that mother's prayer?" - possibly)
