In Memorium

Back to Dead Men's Copse ,
Three memorials remain,
So sad not cared for.

FAV I like the simplicity of this composition

[Mary Siegle]

It is indeed sad that some of the memorials have deteriorated and/or disappeared. Placing them in the copse was a lovely way to memorialize those men. Interesting history for the copse itself!

[Sally Ings]

Quite a poignant collage

[Kathy]

This isn't part of the Falklands Plantation is it? The collage is lovely.

[Peter]

Well capture Jackie, thanks for sharing and keeping their story alive:)

[Cazzi]

Very thought evoking.

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely

[Laura]

Lovely collage.

[Pyrrhula]

Great shots of those old memory stones. Maybe there are no relatives any more.

[haskar]

Nice collage.

[KWind]

Wonderful shots.

[Shutterbug]

I love the comp of this half with the flower. Too bad they can’t repair the one plaque.

[Kathy A]

Shame those plaques aren't being looked after

[Boxplayer]

Ah that is sad.

[Brian]

Fitting tribute in the collage.

Thank you all. We have two little tree "plantations" planted in memory of the fallen only a mile or so apart. This one is in the middle of a private golf club green, technically I think I trespassed to get into it!

Thank you all, I shall return in November with remembrance poppies for each memorial that has been placed there

There is nothing like visiting a cemetery, whether a big one with stones ranging out in rows in all directions, or a small, almost forgotten one like this here, to give one perspective on life and on our daily problems. The phrase, “will it matter in a hundred years” often comes to mind when I am there.
