The solemn beauty of the Tomb of Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, 1938 (b/w photo), stands as a timeless symbol of remembrance and gratitude towards those who made the ultimate sacrifice. "For the Daughters of Soldiers Killed on the Field of Honor" - an inscription that echoes through history, reminding us to honor and support those left behind by fallen heroes. In "Glory, " created by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen in 1915, we glimpse into the heart-wrenching reality faced by families as they mourned their loved ones lost in war. With sorrowful brushstrokes on paper from April 1855 comes "The burial ground at General Hospital Scutari, " capturing a scene where countless war dead found their final resting place during the Crimean War. An evocative sepia photograph reveals a German cemetery in France during World War I – a stark reminder that even enemies share common ground when it comes to honoring their fallen soldiers. The front page index bears witness to Prussian soldiers missing in action during Russia's harsh winters – each name representing an individual story cut short on distant battlefields. Heinrich Meyer's painstakingly compiled index serves as both memorial and testament to Prussian soldiers who never returned home from Russian soil – forever etched into history as brave souls lost but not forgotten. Through Martin Pierre-Denis II's artistic interpretation after 1724 emerges "The Battle of Poltava on June 27th, 1709"– immortalizing one chapter among many where lives were laid down for the pursuit of power and glory.
