A striking image

I was on my way to the tip/recycling centre with a car load of stuff from my mums house - when I saw this and actually stopped the car to take it.
 I find it a very evocative and painful image but I’m not sure why.  Something about war and tattered hopes.  Can’t quite pinpoint it.  But I find it haunting and wanted to blip it. 
On the plus side it was immensely pleasing to take so much stuff to the tip and place it in the right sections eg: wood, garden waste, hard plastic, metal. I had all of that.  Plus I found a section I hadn’t seen before called reuse shop, which is where you put stuff that is still of good quality, or even new but unwanted. I put an unused roller blind in that section:-)
