Recogne, Ardennes, German War Cemetery.
Visited the Cemetery while in the area during my recent Bastogne/Ardennes trip.
I apologise, I did take more pictures than this but for some unexplainable reason they did not save on my camera, these were taken on my phone.
I thought I would post these anyway, I found the previous Belgian visitors comments in the visitors book surprising but understandable, says it all I suppose..
Cheers
Thank you Martin. Another well presented thread.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Those are nice photos.
My memory of the my visit was of a lot of young and old Germans buried there. There seemed to be very few 18 -25 year olds buried there.
Is it true there is a 15 year old buried there ?
Great photo's! I always get a distinct feeling when visiting a war cemetary. Can't really explain it. And those comments in the visitors book are just sad, written by sad and ignorant people.
