War Cemetery  by ingrid01

War Cemetery

My parents live in Mook, close to Nijmegen. In the second world war many lives were lost in this area.
Because the weather was beautiful I went for a walk and passed this cemetery. It was so well maintained that I could not resist taking some photos
War cemeteries are always so beautifully maintained.

There seems to be a variety of circular engravings on the stones. Are those an indicator of their country of origin?

A nice shot of this beautiful and peaceful setting- a place to remember and honour.

It’s amazing the head stones are still perfectly straight. It is a beautiful cemetery.

@margonaut I'm not sure what the engravings stand for. However, it most likely is not their country of origin as 297 of the 322 soldiers came from the UK - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mook_War_Cemetery
