    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, 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 & 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.
    7. AmberRose AmberRose, 12 years ago
      Pulls on mine. So sad.
    8. walksoftly walksoftly, 12 years ago
      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.

    10. inky inky, 12 years ago

      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.

      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
