For Remembrance/ Veterans Day I thought I would post this picture in honor Of My Uncle & Grandmother.
My Uncle was KIA June 8, 1944
This photo is of My Grandmother in the garden holding a picture of her deceased son.
She would later be awarded the Memorial Cross or more commonly named Silver Cross.

Thank you for sharing this....
Yes, thank you.
Thank you, walksoftly. It is a beautiful image of sacrifice. I see that the photograph has been taken outside, and that she is standing behind a table covered by a tablecloth. On the cloth is a vase with a floral arrangement.
Thanks for the love, toolate & Chrisnp & you're welcome.
Thanks for the love, Mani, mustangtony, & ttom, I appreciate it.
Thanks for the love & the kind words miKKo.
Not being able to bury her son I believe she had to have her own memorial for him.
It is a moving image, kinda pulls at the heart strings.
Pulls on mine. So sad.
Thanks for the love Amber & yes it is sad.
The circumstances of his death were very difficult on the family & it's probably why I have such strong feelings for a man I never knew.
Thanks for the love official.
Mine too! I think it is wonderful that you can feel so much for a man you never new, it just shows how much he must have been loved a continuously remembered. Thank you for sharing walksoftly

That's 2 days after D-day. We are so grateful over here. We can't thank the alies and their brave and unselfish soldiers enough !!!! So many dead. Each story heart breaking. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Bazel, for the love on this & the kind words.
So much was sacrificed to get a toe hold on the continent, makes you wonder how it would have turned out if they hadn't fought so hard & gave so much.
Thanks for the love, filmnet.
Russian would have been the main language taught in school.
And we wouldn't be chatting here on CW if you spoke Russian!
In my best Russian: ''Da''

Not sure if the Legion is doing this again ( for 2014 ) but they may be -- as this one was Played down in Ottawa on Remembrance Day. Check to see if they are/will be taking photo/submissions for this year again. I submitted my Dad photo last year -- and he is here in this Vid
Thanks for the love on this post & for the link antiquerose. I'll have to look into that & see if they are doing that again this year.
