Rudolf Bischoff, a German who died very early in the Great War and is buried in Plymouth, England.
Aged 26, he was one of the 111 injured Germans who arrived at Devonport in late September 1914. He was suffering from a shot-wound in his hand which became infected with tetanus from which he died. Bischoff was a Prussian Reservist and before the war had been a gardener.
He was accorded military honours but the funeral was a quiet one, with a firing party of fourteen Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a gun carriage and a plain oak coffin draped with the German flag. There were no pallbearers.
"It was a soldier's funeral, and, though an enemy, Bischoff was accorded the honours due to one who laid down his life for his country." (Western Evening Herald)
The main German cemetery in the UK is the Deutscher Soldatenfriedhof in Staffordshire. The remains of Germans were taken there and reburied unless they were already buried in a plot or cemetery maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. That is the case in Plymouth. Under a reciprocal agreement, all German graves are cared for by the CWGC.

This only took me 3 hours. I wrote it myself, and went outside where the sun was shining. I find it wonderful, really.
I'm burnin', burnin'
'Cause you set my soul on fire
Weather, I don't know what I'll do
'Cause I'm burnin', I'm burnin'
I'm burnin' with desire
Yes, I'm burnin'
And it's all because of you ! :-)

The fantastic neon sign outside of Randles Court. A 1940s motor court located near Lake of the Ozarks in Eldon, Missouri.
Always on the look out for hand painted letters and handmade signs. I have heard there is a documentary in production about sign painters. Taken with iPhone 3Gs
Beautiful Poem- Stop and smell the flowers
Current mood: peaceful
This poem was written by a terminally ill young

Hospital.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Nothin' like a smiley face to brighten your day.
As you can see, Astrid, while I might have seen the light in my last upload, I'm already back to my low-life ways today.
This one's for you Austie1 :)
