I've never done the WWII cemeteries, as the curriculum at the time tended to concentrate on the WWI sites of the Western Front. What I found particularity poignant was the ages of those interred. Nearly all mere teenagers with a few early and late twenties. Every so often, one would see an immaculate headstone with just a name and regiment, no DoB, just date killed. When this omission was questioned, was told that the ones with no DoB were underage, some as young as 14!
Mere kids who would be at school today, agonising about their gender, safe spaces or climate change on social media
And for what?
A good image should tell a story or elicit an emotion.
This wins on both counts.

Super composition, Leo and wonderfully warm tones enhanced by the choice of frame colour.

Nice to see a bit of colour from you, Steve.
Sorry to hear you seem to be a little off colour though
10 days is a long time for a bug, hope you are getting plenty of restorative fluid down you!
Stay safe!

The version for me, Moira.
Must have been a nightmare to shoot and not include the shooter.
