One of the towns we visited was Neuve Chapelle and oone of the things we saw there was the Neuve-Chapelle Indian Memorial ... containing names of Indian troops with no known graves, as well as POW's from both wars who had died and been cremated ...

Locally we also saw this ....
It had been a crucifix outside the Church. And, no, it doesn't have one large branch, that's an unexploded German Bomb (although now made safe!!)
