Tombstone Tuesday - Tiszadada WWI Memorial

To keep in the memory of my last Tombstone Tuesday entry, today's entry will be the Tiszadada WW1 Memorial. The memorial is titled "Höseink", which means "Heroes". These are the fallen soldiers from 1914 to 1918. Rest in peace, men.

Thank you to my cousin Brian, for the use of this photo.

Tombstone Tuesday - Tiszadada WWII Memorial

This and next week (and possibly the week after that), I thought I would do something different for Tombstone Tuesday. Today's post is the World War II memorial in Tiszadada, Hungary. It lists the names of all the fallen soldiers, or "heroes" as the memorial states. It's very sad to see 81 dead men just one from small village in Hungary alone.. very sad. Even more so seeing the name of a relative of mine, Miklós Gombás, which ironically means Nick Gombash.


At the top of the memorial, it states: "A Második Világhaború Névsora Hősihalottainak" which translates literally to 'The WWII list of Heroic Dead'. Rest in peace, men. You definitely will never be forgotten.
