500,000 tombstones
500,000 graves
Fathers
Mothers
Sisters
Brothers
Lives given for freedom
They lived
Loved and were loved
Laughed and cried
Now here they lie
They fought for freedom
They fought against the foe
Bullets flying
Bombs bursting
Sometimes fighting toe to toe
Now they lie
Never to walk the Earth anymore
Salute a soldier
For the freedom you enjoy

A constant thought when visiting these memorialisations is that they are forever frozen on the field of duty, honoured and decorated but never returned home. 🙏🏻🕊Among them my family’s fallen. Sublime work, Tony🕊🙏🏻
