Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

Some Fresh World War I Images

Some days,  I just get tired of the same old photos from the war and I go searching through online archives to see if I can spot something that captures my eye.  Here are some of the "Finds" from my latest excursion.
