just a question. Does anybody know if the holes in the ground are remnants of the shelling that took place? It appears to me to be just that, but maybe I am mistaken!!

~Lest I keep my complacent way I must remember somewhere out there a person died for me today. As long as there must be war,
I ask and I must answer was I worth dying for? ~
Eleanor Roosevelt
~They shall not grow old As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them Nor the years condemAt the going down of the sun And in the morning
We will remember them ~
~Promises, and the Footprints of Menschlichkeit – humanity
I believe this; I know this to be true:
When you are born, you cry and the world rejoices. So live that when you die, the world will cry and you will rejoice.
I also believe this to be true:
The human heart knows that which the eyes cannot see, the ears cannot hear and the mind cannot begin to comprehend~

Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Sir Winston Churchill
