This image shows a war memorial gravestone, honoring a soldier named V. J. Strudwick, who was a rifleman in the Rifle Brigade. He died on January 14, 1916, at the age of 15. The gravestone features a carved emblem with inscriptions and symbols related to the brigade, including β€œThe Prince Consort’s Own.” It is surrounded by red poppies, a common symbol of remembrance for soldiers who have died in war, along with other small remembrance items such as crosses and a poppy wreath. The presence of a small tag and other personal tributes suggests that people continue to visit and honor the memory of this young soldier.
