Photo of Martin Palmer Northmore – Poem archived at Veterans' Affairs online BROKEN FLIGHT Not, broken lad, for you, - this lonely flight That leaves our spirits chilled with bitter cold of anguish. Hearts grown sad and swiftly old Because we cannot scan so fair a height. Was there no beacon - searching from the earth - To catch the gleam of silver-shining wing? Did Heaven's beam, among the stars that swing, Lead safely to a welcome, glowing hearth? Skies there are free from evil birds that prey On lives so young and lovely in our sight; Your love so fond - your spirit true and gay, Soared high to reach the stars beyond the night; But groping still - along our dusty way - We search the skies, above a broken flight. NOTE "In going through some family memorabilia,I came across the following poem written by Miss Leila Bishopp Martin to commemorate the sacrifice of her beloved nephew: Flying Officer Martin Palmer Northmore, 94 Squadron., Royal Canadian Air Force,who died in action over North Africa October 24, 1943. Martin Northmore was my uncle and Miss Martin my great-aunt."
