There were graves similar to this one scattered throughout the cemetary. Not only is it unreal to think of the number of young lives lost in this war, but that so many of the bodies were unidentified and remembered merealy as A Soldier. It is impossible to imagine, that if the war had been right now, all of us university students wouldn't be bounding around various parts of Europe, but we would be lting in the mud in some trenches similar to the ones seen at Hill 62. The feeling brought forth from the visit to this cemetary is indescribable. I wish that i wrote some things down in a journal immediately after being there. I hope that I can always reflect back on that experience because it certainly grants one with a hint of perspective on the world and the terror that was created from WW1.
