Thanks so much for this diary.  Just the kind of diary that I am hoping to find here-among all the other great diaries-to learn first hand of history and shared histories of all people.

I'll have to come back to this and comment more I think but I have to go do the mundane routines-like my laundry right now.

I've been trying to comprehend a million and half killed out of a population of some 40 million...which would be somewhat like my state of Ca. losing that many soldiers and I can't really begin to imagine that.

That along with the juxtaposition of the peaceful abbey and the graveyard that is so near just makes me very, very sad.
