Sad now. Well, not really, but that was sad making. Right from the start, the harsh contrast between peace and war, in one sentence - The sun was warm on his back as they set mines and disguised them with pulled grass. caught me. And by the end, the resignation to abandonment and loss and the graphic description of physical devastation... *sighs* made me think of Flanders in 1916. Very well done.
