A turkish soldier carrying a wounded australian soldier, commemorating “The Last Gentleman’s Warâ€.
It was called this for reasons such as the incident shown in the sculpture, a Turkish soldier waved his white flag and stopped all fighting, ran out of Turkish trenches to carry a wounded Australian soldier in the no man’s land and brought him back to the ANZAC trenches to be treated for his wounds, then climbed back into Turkish trenches before the fighting carried on. Fighting also stopped on Christmas and troops from both sides celebrated together, exchanged food/ drinks and had conversations before heading back to battle the next day. It was indeed a gentleman’s war.

Three touching memorials in the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine.
"This memorial is dedicated to seven astronomers of the Kharkiv Observatorium who perished during the German occupation of Kharkiv (1941-1943)."
"This memorial commemorates the students who fought at the frontline during the Second World War."
And members of the animal kingdom haven't been forgotten.
"This memorial commemorates three apes from the Zoo of Kharkov who survived the German occupation of the city in the period 1941-1943. They managed to escape from their cages and lived among the local population, who gave them food and water. The apes were returned to the zoo after the liberation."
