Well done, Marcia ... evocative ... have to wonder where his memories are taking him. Cemeteries are places of sadness and sometimes magic ... and always thought provoking. I have one that I took a couple of years back that always make me wonder what/who the little girl is thinking of ...http://www.pbase.com/tombriggs/image/79579777

profound depth of feeling caught here as he thinks back on some lost friends...and perhaps on all the horrors of his own wartime experiences too...poignant and powerful...V
