WWII sea mine – Crispina Kemp
It was him!
It was a sea mine
To keep our coasts safe.
World War Two was dreadful
As many lives were lost.
So victory was needed.
He was in the right place and the right time.
It was Winston Churchill,
Man, War Correspondent and Prime Minister.

Chris the acrostic is lovely!! And I love the description of Churchill. As you state war is/was dreadful and there were far too many lives lost (squandered).
