How poignant is this? Just popped up on my FB timeline. "At the end of the First World War, Jean-Joseph Ivaldi went looking for his son, Edouard. Edouard (portrait photo below, early 1917) had joined the French Army, and was killed near a small village in Champagne, France, in 1917. When Jean-Joseph found his son's body in 1919, he raised the cross in the photo below, and placed upon it the helmet Edouard was wearing at the moment he was killed (possibly even the same one in Edouard's photo). It still remains in place today, a rusting tribute to its final owner. The grieving father also left a memorial to his son, which says To the memory of IVALDI, Edouard Marius of Pavillons-sous-Bois Corporal of the 7th Infantry Regiment, 9th Company Died for France 30 April 1917 Erected by Jean Ivaldi, his father, out of objects found in this place that had belonged to him. Today the location of Edouard Ivaldi's grave is kept hidden away from tourists, guarded jealously by the locals for whom he died. And this grave is especially distinctive and sacred, because more than a century later, Corporal Edouard Ivaldi is believed to be the only soldier from the First World War still buried in a marked grave upon the actual spot where he fell in battle. Pour tous les soldats de la Première Guerre mondiale." This is the only link I could find to a picture. www.reddit.com/r/CemeteryPorn/comments/r1xl3/grave_of_french_soldier_edouard_ivaldi_in/
