Cenotaph and beech tree

The cenotaph in Victoria Park, and a nearby beech tree.  Romantic though it may be to carve initials in a heart on a tree (unless, of course, you're the tree), it does make you wonder where the besotted are now, years later when their names are illegible scars on the bark - especially when there is a big stone monument right beside it reading "The Glorious Dead"...
