Always an important thing to know. Literally woke me up last night.

Aaaand my very last submission for #MonochromeMarch – thank you to the creator of this project for a wonderful month in black and white! B&W is really not my thing at all, but it's been a great challenge to find subjects that could work in greyscale (not many did for me 😂).

This is the #Kriegerdenkmal, War Memorial, in #Magdeburg, just off the #SchweizerMilchkuranstalt (Swiss Milk Cure Institute) building I posted a few minutes ago. The #memorial was erected in 1877 and commemorates the soldiers who died in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and Franco-Prussian War (1870/71). The Prussians were a bloodthirsty lot. 🫣
