Poem about Dooley

[johnnybriggs]

I can remember part of a poem about a conscientious objecter during the war called Dooley who is being tried by a judge.

Dooley objects to going to war but the judge asks him about what if he would do if a German was attacking his sister and Dooley says he would knock his head off, so the judge thinks he has proved Dooley is not a pacifist.

Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Many thanks for your answer, What a fantastic poem, every bit as good as my memory. I haven't read it in 19 years!
