evoking a keen sense of sadness or regret

In 2017 I visited the Western Front Battlefields

in France and Belgium

where my grandfather served during

World War 1.

 

Serre Road Cemetery No. 2.

Merricourt Cemetery.

Nowhere was it as poignant as at…

…Menin Gate,

Ypres,

Belgium…

 

…during the Last Post Ceremony

held each evening at 8 PM.

Some French views.

Beginning with a German Military Cemetery

at Rancourt.

There is 11,442 soldiers lying at rest here.

 This cemetery appears to have far fewer graves

here than other similar sized cemeteries,

because each headstone

represents three soldiers.

 

A beautiful drive in the French countryside.

I have been wanting an excuse…

…to post some photos from

Quennemont Farm Cemetery

for First World War soldiers

from the United States army.

I think the photos…

 

 

 

…are full of…

 

 

…lines…

…and angles.
