One of the saddest faces of the war....

[Chris Boonzaier]

An article about the Military corner of a mental asylum. The asylum was partially for the criminally insane... but also for the mentally damaged war veterans and for those who had brain injuries.... e desolate corner of the cemetary where even the name plaques were removed at some stage....

Discarded and forgotten.  Sad indeed.

Hello.

I was most reluctant to read the article  expecting the contents as they turned out to be only more so.

But encouraging to also read that the Old Comrades did not forget and efforts to not let "civilization" pour asphalt over their graves were successful.

A strong reminder to us what war or war-like conflicts do to humans or what humans do to humans.
