Driving through the Somme, we came across this military cemetery wherein some of the allied casualities of World War I and II had been laid to rest. We hadn’t planned to come here; fact is, we didn’t even know that our route took us through the historical frontline until we read the brochure in our campsite later that night. Walking through the graveyard left us both muted and humbled.
In fact there are over 20 military cemetaries like this in France. Each time we passed another, we fell silent for a moment.
