The metamorphosis is necessary, because the grass grows higher and higher. “That’s why it’s necessary to clear the clutter under the grass, so that the lawn remains at the perfect height,” said Jason Bordelon, the US war cemetery superintendent since last year. “We certainly scraped away eight to ten centimeters”, says Mingels, who points out on the crosses how high the grass had already progressed. “The number was often not very visible at the bottom of some crosses.”
