Photographs of the abandoned battlefields reveal the trenches’ scars still run deep

Seth Dixon‘s insight:

On this Memorial Day, I wanted to remember some of the lingering impacts of war. In one way or another, every individual, society, country and place has been impacted and shaped by the numerous armed conflicts over the generations.  So many veterans bear physical scars of war, much like these landscapes mark the trauma of WWI.  Also worth remembering are the unseen emotional and mental scars that are a part of the true cost of war.
