This is a composite image of a soldier carrying a bayonet - which allows a gun to be used as a thrusting spear in close quarter combat. I came across this statue during my backpacking adventures in Chile. I recall feeling scared by this sight, and to convey that in my photography, I lowered the vantage point of my camera and assumed that I was the one just impaled. Oh, what a terrible, final, sight this must have been to those who fell before they could see the fruits of their ultimate sacrifice. Lest we forget.
