IR 70

A war memorial on the banks of the Saar. IR stands for Infanterie Regiment. On the reverse side is a simple listing of the six figures of terrible historical significance: 1870-1871, 1914-1918, 1939-45.

  1. The black and white contrast works well with this Memorial. Very sad...

    I wanted to highlight its stark simple lines.

  3. C'est tellement triste - la nature humaine ne change pas, les guerres se suivent, on n'apprend jamais rien.
    Une belle photo. Elle est simple comme le devoir de ne pas oublier.
