Thanks, swanq, for pointing out the "across The Commons" commonality! We were just talking about such instances (some others of which you have also brought to our attention) this week. We highlighted a few in our 8th Flickr anniversary blog post: blogs.loc.gov/picturethis/2016/01/building-bridges-throug... . We so appreciate the sharing among the institutions and the eagle eyes of those who help us to spot connections and to identify and contextualize the pictures!

Thank-you, an interesting photo for me. My Gt uncle Stephen was killed at those distant woods by "friendly fire" during the barrage before the battle commenced. The fighting must have been hellish. He was buried and then his remains were destroyed all over again before 1918 as the battle lines moved to & fro. He no longer had any remains and is one of the thousands to have only a gravestone.
