An incredibly rare 1907 Suffragette Poem by a convicted Suffragette Militant.
Alice Noble is on the Suffragette 'Roll of Honour' list honouring those imprisoned for their beliefs.
The Poem reads -
'We stormed the House of Commons with our little band so true,
We frightened all the Statesmen till they trembled through and through.
They clapped us into Prison and we gladly went for you
And the Cause goes marching on.'
Signed Ex Convict 19 Alice Noble - 26/2/07.
