Gallant

I published this photo some years ago. It's message to us is no less relevant today.



The stone stands in the little churchyard at Langley in north-west Essex. It says so much in just a few fading words. Less than two weeks after his death the Great War came to an end.


Take care.

  6. No words to say just how poignant and sad seeing this photo post today. War has taken so many young lives.
