A selection of photos from the eternally sad and fascinating war graves from the Somme area of France. The plain gravestones are British and Commonwealth, the stone crosses are French and the metal crosses are German. Young men all, separated from friends and family and destroyed in the mud to satisfy the politician's insatiable desire for power and control. The music is the Puccini aria O Mio Babbino Caro from Gianni Schicchi.
