This
is an autumn shot of Triangular Field bordered by Rose Woods. With the weeds
dying away, it’s much easier to see the carpet of boulders at this time of
year, and to take a closer look at the old stone wall. (No one is certain
whether or not this is the original wall. I would imagine it’s probably been
restacked a time or two).If the grass was relatively low in July, the soldiers
could have seen these rocks and tried to avoid them a little during their
uphill climb, but as they were obligated to keep their eyes on the enemy, they
likely didn’t have that option. Staying in formation must have been an
impossible task, indeed.
