Plenty of Aussies fought and died in WWII. If you see one, thank them for us as well.

This is a World War One cemetary, lads. The Americans, sadly, arrived late in the piece, were very inexperienced, and had a very hard time of it, by all accounts.

Sorry, I missed the Cemetary label on the original picture. Yep, another of the war to end all wars.

Funny, there has been some discussion that there were actually several "World Wars" prior to WWI.

When, and how they died has some bearing on their experience, none on their nationality, Lad.

You, given your set-piece of service, are either denigrating these wonderful men, or praising them: Which is it?

Sounds like praising to me, Paul.

Agree; and if I was impertinent, I apologize.

Thanks, Moss.

Simply sharing a picture I took from another part of the world on Memorial Day. No offence meant.
