Default Visit to a cemetery

Hi again all..Took a few photo's at my local cemetery last weekend..

The first one is of a serviceman who passed away in 1915,and still yet someone came and put a poppy on his gravestone this past poppy day,"Gone but not forgotten"..

Second is of a youngster who loved a homer pigeon,If you look at the bottom of the stone you'll notice lots of bird droppings. Funny thing is that i never saw another stone in the vicinity that had any droppings on them..Its as if the birds are visiting his stone..

Third one,I'd like to know if anyone knows what the emblem in the center of the cross means?

Fourth is of a little girl who passed in 1915 as well,And recently someone had been there to put flowers on her grave..really was nice to see that she was in someone's thoughts.

As usual comments,critique and suggestions are most welcomed.As it will only help me in my pursuit of taking better photo's.

Oh yes, and how do i add photo's without using the attachment button?

Peace and light

Sad but beautiful. It is very nice to see they are not forgotten. It is amazing with the boy who loved homing pidgeons, maybe they come to visit. I up load my photos through flickr as I believe most here do, choose the medium size.
