Message of reconciliation from British schoolchildren at the German Military cemetery of Langemark, in Belgium


A wreath of poppies with a message of reconciliation from a British schoolboy, on a German grave in Flanders. The message reads, "In memory of all the Greman soldiers who died fighting in World War One. From the pupils of Aylestone School, Hereford." And then, in handwriting, "No matter who you are or what side you're fighting on, you're still some mother's son."
