War Graves

War Commission Graves at Royal Victoria Park, the site of Netley Military Hospital which was demolished in 1980s following a fire

So many young lads, most so far from home, interred in this peaceful setting.

[Diana]

It sure pulls at the heartstrings, wonderful capture and light.

[Susan Wakely]

A lovely peaceful setting.

[Dawn]

So tranquil

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful

[katy]

Beautiful light, and it looks like it was a wonderful day for such a sad photo subject.

[Joanne Diochon]

Wandering in graveyards and reading the inscriptions on stones often makes me think how grateful I should be for the life I've had the opportunity to live.

[haskar]

Beautiful light.

[Babs]

Still standing as though they are on parade. So sad.

[narayani]

Very moving image

[Kathy]

Solemn scene.

[JackieR]

@randystreat and there were so many more
@narayani hope not disrespectful to take a photo
@onewing nearly had similar as my title Babs
@haskar sun shone whole time we were in the cemetery
@gardencat yes, I said thank you to a few stones
@joansmor but oh so sad
@Dawn and the bird songvwas so lovely
@wakelys these ones survived the journey to the hospital, and didn't make it back to the front ( or home to Canada, NZ and other far flung places)
@ludwigsdiana very sombre

[Issi Bannerman]

What a lovely spot though. Incredibly sad, however.

[Casablanca]

I love the way they are always so neat in rows in military cemeteries. As if great care was taken even to the last.

[Valerie Chesney]

Such a peaceful place, though so very sad...

[Peter]

Beautifully captured image Jackie in lovely light and colour a permanent reminder of their sacrifice:)
