The monument in Brompton Cemetery to the General whose name is clearly visible in the picture.
If you can't work out from V1 what is missing, V2 might just help.
Fortunately for the General, he had plenty to spare; while someone, somewhere, has only got one Wink

It;s not the only thing around here with a missing marble... Great awareness, great capture.

Very well spotted and Photographed Bill. Though I doubt it went missing in action.

Spotted it right away (for a change!). Wasn't there a wartime song about a certain Nazi dictator having only one ball?

I cannot match you for your erudtion so shall leave it at that!

Bill isn't it amazing how a cracking find like this can bring the worst of the jokes and songs out of us. I just hope Mick doesn't see this one.

is it just me, but I can spend hours in a cemetery just imagining lives now long gone from a few faded words

It's fortunate for the late general that they took a ball from the top and not from underneath Wink
Beautifully composed Bill, and a wonderfully witty observation.

I think it is out of order here Bill with all the comments about the poor Generals missing bit of anatomy.
It is obvious they are his prize beetroots,(although the engraver has got the spelling wrong here. )
His wife must have sliced one up for his salad,but at the age of 70 years old,his loss was too painful to bear and he sadly passed away !!

Well it can't have been taken by Ed the politician...he has no balls at all!
Did you remove the missing ball in order to create the shot, and then put it back afterwards? I often do that with offensive wheely bins and the like, but have never had to remove anyones balls before!

Nice capture, Bill - I have to confess I had to view V2 to see what was missing! Wink

I wondered what that knob was in V1 - well, the place-holder for the missing item. Well, somewhere, someone... has one! Smile

I have to confess that I had to look at V2 too Smile

I am of course now wondering what the pilferer has done with the missing sphere.

That must have been heavy for someone to carry home, but probably makes a nice garden feature somewhere.

That ammo looks a bit on the heavy side for Light Infantry but I don't know much about these things. Great fun!
