No that's no ordinary place and no ordinary sacrifice!
Any battlefield, anywhere in the world, with whatever countries fighting, have all their own stories, and all of them will have been horrific.

Today we hear more about war , almost first hand , often with the news media,sometimes with the people on the fields themselves.

In time, like all wars , stories and legends , fact and fiction will merge into an almost seemless story.
We only have some accounts of exactly what happened in the battles of history,so we do have to be careful of one viewpoint.

All places of war are important, and we should take care to remember the tradgedies that happened there , happened to both sides.

just my thoughts...
