Messines

In Mesen (a.k.a. Messines) , a nice bronze sculpture was made to commemorate the Christmas truce of 1914.

If all of the responsibilities, declarations, and outcomes of war were placed solely in the hands of the foot soldier, war would not exist.

I was at Messines 1.5 week ago.

I might be wrong, but i believe the cannon is an English 4.5 inch howitser.

I am pretty sure that other arguments are required to convince the missus
