Found a poem in Gt. uncles belongs from WW1. it is out of a newspaper/magazine, but it is in German. My friend tried to translate it but they said it was Old German. and not a very nice poem about the English. Is there anyone who could try and translate it for me? I could type it on here or e-mail it. My uncle was a POW and I think this is where it came from. Many thanks

Many than
