Another really quite stunning memorial, they must have been expensive, even by the standards of the day, just superb, with the attention to detail.

It is always sad to see all those poor buggers who lost their lives, for so often, little more, than simply a single mouth full of unboiled water, in this particular case, absolutely typical, four out of just nine men!
