Yes. In the book I referenced, there are also several pictures of the surrounding landscape. The word that immediately pops into my head is ‘forlorn’, almost featureless. The young seaman I mentioned was only 20 years old when he died. So young and, like you said, so very far away from his home and family.

So young and, like you said, so very far away from his home and family.

That is the nature of heroic young men.

God bless them.
