Hi @norwaylife, thank you for your comment and compliments! I live in the area where the Isonzo Front took place during WW1, over a length of 90 kilometres, from the Rombon Hill in the north to the outflow of the Isonzo River (Soca River) in the Gulf of Trieste in the south. It was one of the bloodiest and most destructive fronts in history, with more than one million casualties. As a result, there are many monuments and memorials of this kind in the area. So I'm quite used to going to places like this. Still, it does not change the fact that I always think about the horrors, that people had to endure at that time. These memorials encourage us to learn from history, so that such atrocities do not occur never again. When we read/watch the news, we see that, unfortunately, this is not exactly the case. That's sad!
