= =   **BROWN**  **As brown as the rats scampering in the trenches at night**  **  As brown as the soil that soldiers march along. ****  As brown as the eyes of the men who left their families to fight in the war. ****  As brown as the helmets on the crosses of those who died in flander’s field  ****
