Subject: RE: BS: Visiting Cemeteries
I quite like cemetaries, especially the old ones around village churches in England. You learn quite a bit about the past of the village.

Also in mainland Europe I've always taken a bit of time to visit war graves. Seeing in the cemetary near Arnhem a grave for a man who was at time the same age, rank and unit of my father broke me up a bit. But it's a useful reminder of the past.
