That they might have lived
Before moving away from St Barts, I'd like to draw your attention to what is below the figure of christ on the wall. Aged, 20, 19, 29. Ninety years ago, so they would be long gone now, whatever - but still remembered for what they could have been, but never were. It is hard to think of what these people must have thought before they went "over the top". Was it courage? Was it bravado? I don't know. I only know that for them death was not to be desired, but something that they might well get to know. I can't help feeling that the current wave of suicide murderers have missed the point completely, and changed our world forever.

Very interesting post Ham.
Beautiful photography. Courage is to face its own fears and to surmount them
As a reasonably oldie now I can see that Politicians are the scourge of humanity. Send all those young men and women to their deaths for the so called glory for their country. Now being carried out by our government today on false grounds. We should send the politicians to do the fighting!! Ray
