This photo was taken May 30, 1920, at the American cemetery at Suresnes, France. Click to expand.
I would encourage everyone to visit a war cemetery if they get to Europe. The American ones are generally good but the Brits do it better; the best description of a British war cemetery I have heard is that they are a “little corner of England transplanted to the continent.” I would also suggest that everybody try to visit a German war cemetery as well. The German cemetery in Normandy is one of the most solemn cemeteries I have ever seen and it is probably one of the least visited as well.
In honor of Memorial Day, revisiting this thread. The photo originally attached is still available here.
