This image shows a war memorial gravestone, honoring a soldier named V. J. Strudwick, who was a rifleman in the Rifle Brigade. He died on January 14, 1916, at the age of 15. The gravestone features a carved emblem with inscriptions and symbols related to the brigade, including “The Prince Consort’s Own.” It is surrounded by red poppies, a common symbol of remembrance for soldiers who have died in war, along with other small remembrance items such as crosses and a poppy wreath. The presence of a small tag and other personal tributes suggests that people continue to visit and honor the memory of this young soldier.

Two weeks in 🇧🇪 were over too some summers ago and so was my photographic into some facts and parts of . Not only was created at this place, indeed the youngest fallen hero is buried here: is told to have fallen at the age of 15 - unbelievable and sad! 😢 Lest we forget all those who gave their utter sacrifice for freedom - true heroes they were!
