Think I'm done...

"Valley of the Crosses, Valley of the Losses"
Hurtgen Forrest, 1944
1:35th scale.

After a poem from Andrew Fetler, who fought there:

Valley of Crosses
Valley of the losses
Why this sadness?
Mother Huertgen, are you listening?
Do you feel the warming breeze?
Do your hills resound with whistling
Where boys tramps with naked knees?
Hush, be still, my sons are sleeping,
They are tired of the war,
Flowers grow, but they are weeping,
Naked knees they’ll see no more

Lest we forget

Thanks for looking!
