A nice, surreal experience of history as this place is an actual burial ground of these soldiers, and not just a memorial. It felt surreal to walk through the place knowing that several feet beneath you was where these heroes were laid to rest. Reading each tombstone was interesting to know a little more about the people there - their rank, their age, division, date of death. It's saddening how many of them died at very young ages. Some tombstones had an epitaph written and those can pinch your heart as you read what was written or chosen by the family they left behind. Some had no inscription from family written since no contact with the family was made and that was also sad to think about.
