[Leica] Grave marker

[FRANK DERNIE]

I was born in 1950. My generation has had it easier than previous ones, though not as easy as some subsequent ones perhaps, depending on pov.Of the generation of this poor soul not only did many not survive WW 1, but those who did saw their children taken up fighting in WW 2.I have a lot of photographs and a family tree of my maternal grandmother's. She lived from 1898 until 1999, so not only the heartache of 2 world wars, but also the "trauma" of living through the century with the biggest changes ever. So few men came back to England from WW 1 and those that did had the memory of the unthinkable conditions they survived.

I often reflect on this and on how fortunate I have been myself.

 Prowling around in an old cemetery again today, and I ran across this 
marker.  I'll never complain about anything again.
