My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Lines
~~~~~
With yesterday’s ANZAC Day commemorations
still fresh in our memories I have continued
the ANZAC theme today with a brief visit to
Tyne Cot Military Cemetery
in Belgium.
Some 34,000 names of soldiers who perished
and have never been found, line to wall of
Tyne Cot Cemetery.
These 34,000 are names which could not
fit on Menin Gate
The steps also make good lines this week.
Apart from names on the wall there are also…
the graves of 11,900…
of British Empire, as it was then known,
service personnel who perished
during the Great War.

A sombre response to the challenge, but most appropriate at this time
