What a strange thing the Tsar tank was! Yes, you must get a photo of it.
I agree, being in WW1 and subsequent wars was not a good experience for anyone. So many lives lost and for what? I spent six months researching my great uncle after finding him missing from the family tree. I eventually traced him to a peaceful corner of a French cemetery. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission were helpful enough to give the map reference of where his battlefield grave had been for 3 years before moving him, and an unknown soldier buried there with him, to the final resting place. After 100 years alone I have visited his grave twice and also the site where he fell in battle and was buried (now peaceful farm land). I shed so many tears doing that research.
