We visit Souda Bay where the memorial to NZ soldiers who lost their lives during the second world war is located.
We walk amongst the graves of all the Kiwi soldiers here. Most of them died when they were well under 25 years old.....so young.
It is a beautiful and peaceful place, close to the water's edge, well cared for and obviously highly respected.
Visiting here enables us to read the history of the fierce battle which occurred here and relate it to actual places we have visited.
It is a very emotional experience for us.
It is a place of honour and remembrance which we can be proud of as New Zealanders.
