Oh WOW! It gets even better! I was praying that you would be able to pick out some names on the crosses! That is history you have right there in that album youngtug! Amazing!

Can you tell me how many photographs are in the album? And if you don't mind, how much you paid for it? (understandable if you prefer not to say  )

On one grave,

Actually it looks like the grave has not yet been dug. Was it usual to have several in one grave?

Photo #12 also seems to show several names per grave.

The freshness of these photos is heartbreaking

It is very sad isn't it.
