very nice harry

it is good to see a capital class a

& this monument certainly deserves it

while normally the class designations refer only to the precise tripoints themselves rather than to the monuments in their entirety

because sometimes you can have a monument & still not know where on the monument the precise point falls

& may i add that the little de lutte triangular stone or number 20 directly above this tall triangular stone on your page remains the leading candidate for the oldest working international boundary stone in the world following a recent challenge if only we could find the paperwork to confirm it
