For You Aussies.
9th November 1937: A mason cements blocks of stone into position, carved with the names of the fallen, in the military ceremony at Villiers-Bretonneux, near Amiens. The memorial is the Australian National Memorial, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, and the names of the 10,860 Australians who have no known grave in France will be carved on it. Completion is expected in spring 1938.

I just try to imagine the families and beloved ones [of both sides], specially those who were listed as MIA or those who has no known graves!!!

i think over the years, at least, a very small section of these brave soldiers are discovered and buried in nearby cemeteries.

may their souls rest in peace.

"Dragon's Teeth" along the Siegfried line in the Saar. 1955. These were designed to stop tanks and other tracked vehicles from crossing.
I took a B & W photo that is an accidental double-exposure of this scene with General George Patton's grave marker in the American Cemetery in Luxembourg superimposed over it. Twilight Zone material for sure!
