Today the
battlefields of Northern
France are a
place of real beauty.
Nestled in open
fields are British cemeteries, lovingly tended, wonderfully silent and truly
inspiring.
They are places
of reflection, admiration and thankfulness.
It is difficult
to comprehend the horror that took place in these fields.
Now and then you
get sight of a derelict pill-box or gun emplacement.
If you visit
Vimy Ridge near Arras you can walk through concrete trenches,
look over no mans land from a fire step, but of course there is no constant
shelling, no smells, no horror.
In the numerous
cemeteries of the Somme there are rows upon rows of unnamed
graves,
Silent
Awe inspiring.
