Wow, that’s a powerful and heart-wrenching image. The strength that Colonel Fenton must have shown during such a painful moment is truly inspiring.
Speaking of commemorating loved ones, have you come across a bevel grave marker? They can hold a special significance in honoring those who’ve passed. Anyway, thanks for sharing this piece of history. It’s a testament to the resilience of those who serve our country.
