She was about five feet tall
and around sixteen years of age – no older .
She was just a local girl .
No one ever thought of her as a soldier .
On the parade ground she found her voice got louder
As the winds got colder .
Then her confidence grew and she knew
she was cut out to be a soldier .
She stood there at attention
With a twelve pound rifle resting on her shoulder .
The town waited and waved flags as she marched off to war .
There were none bolder .
Just a local girl who was greatly admired .
But no one ever told her .
