There were crosses placed for the first 1000 casualties. It was pretty impressive and humbling.

    Thanks Angelo! I may go back today and see if I can get a better angle to reduce some of the background clutter.

    The one marker with the crescent moon instead of a cross says a great deal...and that is good.

    I'm glad you got it in the shot...and hope you intended to.

    Thanks Nik and Arvan...

    Arvan, it's definitely not an easy situation. I think this demonstration was only trying to show a small part.

    Sorry to hear that. I know how that feels when you go back for another shot or a different angle of photographing it and it's gone.
