Coming here, @norwaylife, upon learning you were one of the Top 3 posts selected by @pinmapple today. Your post definitely captures the "weight" of what being on this battlefield must have been like long ago:
"The battle took place at a distance of only 8 meters ..."
"All those who stood in the first trench - died, and those who stood in the second trench - replaced them...They saw people falling down and knew that they would die in a couple of minutes, but there was no sign of trembling. Those who were able to read - were reading the Koran ..."
"No one should ever forget such historical events. We must respect those who gave their lives for the values and people of their country."
While never being in the military, I am an "amateur" historian, with an interest in military history, in particular. Why? It is in times like these that the course of human history is determined. And that men make decisions about what is truly important. And what is not ...
"I wish everyone blue skies over your head and peace in your home."
Very nice closing thought. I am a bit confused, though, if I might ask a clarifying question. Your account name references Norway. Yet this post indicates you are Ukrainian ... And you are visiting Turkey? Or living there? Or ?...?
Hello, sorry for the late reply to your comment. I regret that I haven't been able to spend much time here lately due to the busyness of my daily life. You have asked a very good question. I can answer as follows, first of all I am from Ukraine and my husband is Turkish. After the war in Ukraine, we lived in Norway for 1.5 years, during which time we created our Hive account and since we lived in Norway, I wanted to name my account "norwaylife". In fact, it all started with the desire to share the natural landscapes of Norway with people and get some distraction. We moved back to Turkey from Norway and now we live in Istanbul, Turkey. We make 1-2 week trips to relax in our house in Canakkale and this trip coincided with one of those trips.
I guess I can't change the name of my account. Keep knowing me as norwaylife !
