It makes an interesting juxtaposition, doesn't it: the beauty of the medium vs. the solemnity of its purpose. Overall, it makes a very profound statement. Thanks for dropping by, Andy; come back again! Oh, and the name's Robert. ;-) Howdy, Andy! It makes an interesting juxtaposition, doesn’t it: the beauty of the medium vs. the solemnity of its purpose. Overall, it makes a very profound statement.

Thanks for dropping by, Andy; come back again!

Oh, and the name’s Robert. ;-)

I work with granite worktops and your right - Black granite is fantastic as a use for a granite surface! When polished, it really can stand out... It's just sad that we look at this stone in such circumstances! My Grandfather fought in the Second World War - he actually was awarded a medal for bravery by the King of England, so I do feel quite strong about these matters... Anyway, interesting article all the same. Take care, Andy Hi Lee,

Those silent ranks sometimes have volumes to say to those of us still living, don't they? @Matthijs - I’ve visited a few of those in Europe as well.

It's amazing how such a simple monument can speak so loudly and clearly to its visitors. Hello, Karen - yes, I’ve heard similar experiences from many who have been there too.

But i've seen some graveyards in Europe from WWI and WWII. The numbers off people killed during WWI is stunning. Sometimes thousands off lives were lost in a day attacking a simple hill.
