How I got there

MEN! It all started when I saw the poster. I had already heard about the tremendous war effort that was gripping the nation, and had even considerd that i might soon sign up to the ranks of the British military. There were posters all over the town which were trying their hardest to make us sign up, but this one clinched it. I remember it well, a picturesque living room with a man much like myself looking directly at me. On his lap sat a young boy playing with a train, and at his feet a girl. The script at the bottom said 'Daddy, what did you do during the war?'. Ever since I was young, i had never wanted to feel like I wasn't involved, like i was doing something to help. 10 minutes later I was at the town hall with the pen in my hand and the dotted line in front of me. I put pen to paper.
