"They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old."
I was listening to Dermot Bolger on RTE1's Thought for the Day and he told us this. Dermot has a friend who lives in Ypres. When they are digging out the foundations for a house or any other construction, they sift through the earth for any shard of bone, a button or a piece of uniform and then Dermot's friend tries to match it to his database of the missing. Even after 90 years, the painstaking job of identifying the casualties of the trenches goes on.
A trench in WW1.
At least it's dry and the soldiers look relaxed. How many of them never came home, I wonder?
