🪦 #31DaysOfGraves — Day 3: Glass Glass-covered immortelles on the grave of World War I Soldier, Private George Heiniger, at Toowong Cemetery in 1915. 📍 Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 🦘 - fotc.au 🔍 Details in Alt text...

George Heiniger's comrades funded the erection of a marble headpiece above his grave at the Toowong Cemetery which was engraved with a miniature saddle and crossed rifles. The grave was surrounded by a concrete kerbing. After paying for the tombstone the balance of the money raised was used to purchase two artificial wreaths which were placed on the grave.

Private George Heiniger of the Unallotted Light Horse died on 21 February 1915 at the Enoggera Military Training Camp in Brisbane at the age of 18. The night before his death he complained of a headache and giddiness. The next morning he was very ill and his comrades took him on a stretcher to the field hospital at the camp. Once there he lapsed into unconsciousness and died at 9.15 am that day.

A court of enquiry found that he had died of heat stroke, although his comrades stated that he had not been in the sun and had not engaged in violent exercise or work preceding his illness.

Westminster Abbey @westminsterabbey.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Among the most remarkable memorials in the Abbey is the Grave of the Unknown Warrior, which honours the fallen of the two world wars and conflicts since. The grave is surrounded by a border of poppies, a poignant symbol of remembrance. #31DaysOfGraves #Flower

The Grave of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey. The black marble gravestone is surrounded by a border of red poppies and is inscribed with the words:

Beneath this stone rests the body of a British Warrior unknown by name or rank, brought from France to lie among the most illustrious of the land and buried here on Armistice Day, 11 Nov 1920, in the presence of His Majesty King George V, his Ministers of State, the Chiefs of his forces and a vast concourse of the nation

Thus are commemorated the many multitudes who during the Great War of 1914-1918 gave the most that man can give

Life itself

For God, for King and country, for loved ones home and Empire, for the sacred cause of justice and the freedom of the world

They buried him among the kings because he had done good toward God and toward His house

A quote for the first day of #31DaysOfGraves from the Liverpool Mercury in 1889. 1/ “The gravestones are a study. They are full of odd conceits, of quaint sayings and curious reflections. Sometimes we find on the carven stones some gentle words which broken hearted survivors have graven there...

Thomas Woolley of Greave Fold met his end in a thunderstorm on 23 May 1850. His gravestone rather dramatically records that he was killed: ”…by the Electric Fluid in a thunder storm.” 19th-century weather forecasting was clearly a little more exciting. ⚡️ #history #grave #lightning #strangedeath

"The Dead Are Not Suspicious". #poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity www.refugee-action.org.uk/dariush/

“I slept in a graveyard. I didn’t like to be in the city where people could see me. It’s incredible, how big your problems are when you are homeless in a strange city or strange country, you don’t understand the language. It’s so much worse than you can imagine.”
Kurdish asylum-seeker Dariush

Here in the city of the dead
there are no eyes to follow me,
uncertain of my honesty
or fearing my intent.

Beneath these gravestones, wrapped in lead,
our petty inhumanities
are wiped clean by eternity;
death knows no discontent.

Even the birds are calmer here;
there are no feet or speeding wheels
to dodge while looking for a meal
of stale discarded crumbs.

The ancient yew trees soothe my fears
a while, allow me to conceal
myself so I can start to heal,
prepare for what’s to come.
