Day 2: Monument to the missing

At the Anglo-French Memorial in Picardie is a monument to the 72,000 English and French fallen soldiers whose bodies were never found. The walls of the monument are covered with their names. Occasionally you will come across a blank space where a name has been obliterated - meaning, this soldier - alive or dead - had been found. We do not know if he survived or only his body was found.
