Gesehen am Steilhang von Clery-sur-Somme

Description: Dix has stumbled upon two putrefying bodies in conversation. Their joints are slowly separating. A jaw has toppled to the ground and a plant has taken root in a shattered skull. Ernst Junger described a similar scene while on patrol. These are the memories that last a life time.
