He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Those pictures are always sad, but really remind you of their sacrifice.

I took it as guys digging a fighting position keeping the rifles out of the dirt. no helmets or equipment hanging off rifles. If there were bodies I would bet the phtog would have included them.

Isn't it a normal practice if leaving the soldiers weapon as his grave marker that it was made inoperable I.e. bolt removed and ditched!
I too thought a defensive position with the rifles like that to be A) Easy to reach and bring into action B) Keeping them out of the dirt.
