Sunlit ruins: soldiers on a road in the destroyed landscape of Sommepy, France.

Not from WW2, but from todays Bundeswehr: "Gebirgsjäger" with a MG3 on Lafette mount in the "mountain and winter combat school" in Mittenwald (which is a neighbouring town to the city I´m stationed in, btw).



And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

British infantry being shelled during the retreat from Mons.  The man clutching his head had just been severely, perhaps mortally wounded.

Australian Vickers machine gunners of 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, suspend firing and cool their gun as a United States Mustang drops a Napalm bomb on the Communist held ridge which the Australians had been spraying with fire a few seconds before.
