I really liked this. Very sad and moving and written about my namesake (my name is Violette).

Inspiring

Excellent job in giving voice to Violette Szabo. Quite a heroine and martyr. Your lines embody the mote admirably.

I didn't know about her, or Leo Marks, 'code poem, or the movie, but thanks to Wikipedia I now have a little background on that.

Again, quite admirable, with I could give it more than a 5.

Lovely poem

It is fitting that it should appear when in the UK we have just buried our last soldier to survive the trenches of the First World War. Now that that link has been broken, it is even more important that we remember those who have given their lives for what they supposed was the most honourable cause.
