WWI & WWII Rolls of Honour:

I found two of my Grandfather's Uncles who died during WWI on the Roll. The first died 25th April 1915 at Gallipoli at age 19 and 2 months. Anzac Day commemorates the landing at Gallipoli on this date.

Four columns inside the tomb representing the 4 elements:

You really don't want to end up in my sniper site.

Rgr that Grant...I'm thinking I've seen some of these online before (on a website perhaps) and they had a desert version alongside a Hurricane one as well.

Could be mistaken for somewhere else though.

The Tomb is a very moving place to stand. The echoes in that space are amazing. I couldn't get any good clear shots of the dome 20 odd metres above the Unknown Soldiers final resting place. It really is a place of sadness and peace.

Wow, amazing pics TarJak; now I really gotta go.
