Obviously I'm too late for this, but there is a fabulous song written by Lucy Burrows (Hawker) called 'Battlefield Tree'. This being the story of a tree in the middle of WWI and the devastation caused to life & limb by that war.

She's one of the Cornish Songwriters and part of Unsung Heroes, the tale of the Lost Gardens of Heligan. A very talented writer & singer & cherished in the UK. I'll PM her & point her here. It would be wonderful if she could share the lyrics here.

A wonderful thread, thankyou!
