effects

I think this time visiting London whilst walking around the evening with my dad and dawn was realizing noticing the effects of ww2. Not that there were shrapnel shells everywhere, but statues and some monuments on the embankment by the thames had holes gouged out, from bombs that were dropped nearby by the nazis. There were monuments erected in memory of the airmen, soldiers and sailors who risked their lives. Not trying to be sentimental or anything, but I think this time around, and not just in London, that I’ve understood a fuller appreciation of what the wars had meant to the generations past and how it’s shaped the countries affected by it.
