July 27

At the Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial, over 3,200 Americans are buried and another 5,100 names are inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing. The majority died during World War II’s Battle of the Atlantic or in the strategic air bombardment of northwest Europe.

Is it any wonder, then, that there are so many crosses they blur together….

  1. Lined up like soldiers
    crisp white uniforms the same
    waiting for commands.

  2. Wonderful image, much to reflect on, that blurring effect is very affecting in the magnitude, indeed. Solemn reflection on the cost of war. Excellent in black and white.
