  • Leírás: The men put on their equipment, showing very clearly how full marching pack and equipment was worn. They assemble by their bell tents and, led by two regimental colours (standards) and their band, they march out of camp, wearing waterproof capes and blanket rolls against the driving rain.The cemetery is large and semi-permanent (in that the crosses are of wood not stone) but is neatly laid out and well tended. The small group of ladies, very camera-conscious, lays wreaths on the graves, weeds and sweeps the path.
