Very good reminder that Rupert Brooke’s 1914 poem ‘The Soldier’, written for the English dead in Flanders in the Great War, is very relevant also to these Second World War dead who came from America to England to help us.

The photo is compelling as well as poignant; you really want to read the head stones and the central positioning of the keystone really draws the eye in. The slight ‘posterisation’ (?) is, I think, very good, making it very slightly surreal. A podium contender I think.
