well if I pass there one day I could take picts of the cemetary and the stone for you, there putting a lot of money in keeping it clean,especialy for 2014 it's so quiet there ,every day stuff is still being found out of the ground ,from bullits to guns and bombs, when I was small there was a guy that had in his garage a museum full of ww1 relics found in the fields

Nice pictures, I really like the M79! I've always wanted one just can't see spending the dough for a real one, is it airsoft or actual BB as in a copper bb gun?
