The memorial sight at Villers Bretonneux

A simple still photo view of the memorial sight area showing the surrounding fertile farmlands which once withstood the misery of brutal mechanised modern warfare. The beautiful serene view of today is a stark contrast to the death and destruction that took place here during World War I.
One of the most widely forgotten human tenants is that "freedom is not free". However the real tragedy is that a few elites having a hizzy fit about almost nothing can lead us to wholesale destruction of the kind that took place on all the Great War battlegrounds.
The other less obvious byproduct of such wars is the fact that the average people ultimately pay the price for the spats of the elites who personally lose nothing and indeed often benefit from wars financially.
