Vee the Roosevelt story was very interesting but the photos of the Oise-Asine Cemetery are what took my

attention. It is obviously a beatiful place in a great setting, I can understand why it means so much to you.

Thanks for the pictures, Vee. As usual, they are very well done, document just about all there is to see there, and make me wish I could visit!

 

The relief carvings were very neat - I love that blocky Art Deco style that was popular at the time. (If I'm wrong about that and it is some other art style - someone let me know.)

 

Here is one of my favorites:
