Writer Craig DeSteiguer joins us to tell the story of his grandfather John Horace Merriman, who was deeply affected by his First World War-era service. "Death in the Trench" Let me sing no whispers of war. Let me tear my eyes, of all death…that lay. Let me hold the hand of their last breath. Let me pray their soul is gone….to home. Let me sing no whispers of war. For when I too shall come home, To whispered songs no more…. of that war.
