Aux Versaillais morts pour la patrie

On Sunday, I showed you the Monument to the fallen. Here's a more complete view of it with the Town Hall in the background. There is a cherub on Artsy Versailles today.

Dimanche je vous en montrais un détail. Voici le monument aux morts presque complet, avec l'hôtel de ville en arrière-plan. Il y a un chérubin sur Artsy Versailles aujourd'hui.

  3. Reminds me somewhat of our Vietnam Wall. So many dead everywhere. For what?

  6. Ciel, the number of names is absolutely breathtaking. It looks like a whole generation of young men was eliminated.

  9. Sad and impressive, to honor their death is the least we can do for them.
