The Cost Of War

[debris4spike]

As I have just posted, I love cemeteries.  Exeter Cememtery has, like most around Britain, assorted War Graves.  However there is also a specific section dedicated to the dead of WWII - Commonwealth, German, Polish, Italian ... as well as some of the civilians killed my enemy action.

I do go to many war cemeteries, and go to the Cenotaph every year ... these people should never be forgotten.  By visiting they are remembered -



The Commonwealth War Cememtery section.





The Sword of Sacrifice

Commonwealth & Polish graves



Enemies who died on the same day -





Exeter had air raids over the city, in the so-called Baedeker Raids (like Coventry & Cantebury)

I do love old cemeteries as well, and those pictures are great.

This cemetery has graves dating back to the 1830's ... but especially when I was in Eginburgh there were some amazing Kirkyards with graves back to the 1600's
