The first world war was fought in part on these mountains where the soldiers died because of the wounds but also because of the terrible cold. Now in the Valle d'Ampezzo there is a monument where the remains of 5000 known and 4500 unknown alpines have been collected. I find this visit always very touching, one hundred years after the end of that insane war that stole the lives of so many young men
@mona65@777margo@redandwhite@suzanne234 @ thank you for your comments. And yes @louisanoffke I was hoping to transmit the sense of loneliness and cold and desperation suffered in the trenches in the mountains above.
