Dear Mother, in earth’s

This is an interesting Blog because it shows quite a cultural difference between cemeteries here in the UK and those in the USA. I have noticed an even bigger difference between here and the very ornate, mainly Catholic, cemeteries in France. War grave cemeteries look fairly similar everywhere, much like Arlington, VA.
