Remembering Elizabeth Annie Jones on #StDavid’sDay. She died aged 22 in Oct 1916 of TNT poisoning. She had worked at NEF Pembrey. Her mother Mary Anne Williams claimed compensation for her daughter's death. Her name is on the local war memorial #LestWeForget #WomensHistory womenandwar.wales
In other countries (especially Belgium, France or the UK) the Great War is clearly more present than the Second World War. In German history, both wars are the proof for the downfall of mankind but - perceived - the cruelties of WW2 are dominating here in Germany due to our ashaming historical legacy and millions of inexpressible crimes against humanity.

Apart from that, when walking through Hamburg-Rahlstedt, I found this memorial to the fallen heroes of World War I by coincidence, getting the proof that the utter sacrifice of brave men of all nations (and German soldiers) in the first World War hasn't been forgotten as well.

Lest we forget.

My condolences to families of all victims in school shooting in BC, and best of wishes for fast recovery of wounded.

#LestWeForget
Two weeks in #belgiumπŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ were over too fast some summers ago and so was my photographic #journey into some facts and parts of #worldwar1. Not only was #inflandersfields created at this place, indeed the youngest fallen hero is buried here: #vjstrudwick is told to have fallen at the age of 15 - unbelievable and sad! 😒 Lest we forget all those who gave their utter sacrifice for freedom - true heroes they were!

Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery in Poperinge, Flanders, is the prime witness of more than four years of violent warfare. From 1915 until 1920, the hamlet of Lijssenthoek became the venue for the biggest evacuation hospital in the Ypres Salient.
