Amalgam of mostly Irish, brummie & by adoption krakowian. A bit of a lefty I guess. Big reader of European & ancient history. Love walking the Tatras & Scottish Highlands. From the Dubliners to Schubert is how I take my culture, the best of everything.

Remembering the lost souls of the 'Graveyard of the Unknown'
The concrete headstones sit high on a grassy knoll, overlooking the reservoir that the people buried here died building. There are 22 stones but most are simply marked ‘unknown’.
