History
In October 1917, during World War I, the 49th Stationary Hospital was established at Bralos along with rest and recuperation camps for Allied troops. It remained in use until April 1919. Many of the dead from the hospital—chiefly from the influenza epidemic—are buried in the Bralo British Cemetery. It contains 101 burials, 95 of which from the British Commonwealth.[2]
Bralos was also the site of fighting between British Commonwealth troops and the Germans in the Battle of Thermopylae (1941).
gollark: It won't be *exact*, being an image and all, but you could probably do "close enough". You would need a lot more resolution on the circle to display it well than the rectangle, though.
gollark: I'm beginning to think that it might be easier to just hand-write SVGs.
gollark: Here's an incredibly bad diagram. I need an image editor for Linux which actually works.
gollark: Take each pixel of the input and its X/Y coordinates, divide the circle up into an equal amount of "pixels" using polar coordinates, and map them on.
gollark: You could probably do it (with "image" meaning some pixel-y thing on a computer and not some mathematical variant), but it would look stupid.
