Young - Lest we
forget. Photo taken by Denis Hare (May 2008)
Note: The tradition of sticking
rifles upside down into the ground with head gear is to honour the dead,
as a temporary memorial to a fallen soldier, is a ‘modern trend’. This
practice originated with the introduction of tanks. When a soldier fell
during an advance his mate would pick up the rifle and stick it into the
ground, by the bayonet as a marker to indicate to the tanks that a wounded
or dead soldier lay there, this way the armoured vehicle would not
accidentally run over the body. |
