Photograph taken at a graveyard outside the town of Ypres in Belgium, showing the grave of an Unknown Soldier of the 1st World War.
During the 1st World War over 550,000 soldiers from all nationalities lost their lives in the fighting in and around Ypres. At 8pm every night the Last Post is sounded at the Mennin Gate (Pronounced Men-In-Gate) to remember those that died fighting to save "little Belgium".
More info on the Mennin Gate can be found with the photograph of the gate.

Deviousness
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment.
She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More |

Devious Comments
I've recently started reading John Keegan's book on the First World War. Definately one of the most unnecessary conflicts of this past century, and may very well have changed to course of history for the worst.

"Character is fate"
Like tanks, airplanes, and really cool cars? Then come check out my gallery.
Check out these cool clubs.
It was during the First World War that inventions we take expect the military to have today were first introduced: Tanks, Fighter Aircraft, Chemical Weapon Protection (gas masks or urine soaked tissue over the nose).
Sadly it was also the first war where Chemial Weapons were used to deadly effect by the Germans in Belgium, its amazing how many people were slaughtered around Ypres (spelt Ipres in Belgium) over 500,000 confirmed dead and many more still lying in the place they fell.
The First World War was called The War To End All Wars due to the high death rates, its a shame that nearly 100 years on the current World Leaders still dont realise that there are no winners in war.
