Grave of Ernest Karena
Ernest Karena's grave in Italy.
[Editor's note: Wooden crosses like this from the time of death on battlefield graves were all later replaced with Commonwealth War Graves Commission headstones, whether the bodies were moved to CWGC cemeteries, or stayed in their original burial places. See Ernest Karena's headstone at Florence War Cemetery, Italy.]
