Brief description: A view of the graves of those who fell.

I photographed this to show that even in death, those who gave their lives are still on parade.

Each year the school children from Oosterbeek and Arnhem make a pilgrimage to the Cemetery to clean the graves and tidy the garden. They do this to remember and say thank you for the sacrifice made by those who gave their tomorrows, so that they can have their todays.
