The condemned man’s cell at Poperinghe. Flanders. / At dawn the convicted man , was led out to the execution post, clearly visible, through the barred window, some 20 yards away. During WW!, the British executed 320 of their own troops, official records confirm that at least eight soldiers met their end here, although it is widely held that the figure is a lot greater. Three soldiers were known to have been executed, 2 aged 17, and one aged 16, being under the age for overseas military service, this was known at their courts-martial, but then disregarded. Of all the allies during the Great War, only the Australian government refused to entertain the death-penalty for it’s soldiers.

Saw a great swath of poppies in the distance. But do you think I could find them. With dusk fast approching I at last found this small field. There was a gusty breeze though so no possibility of macros.

part of a ttv (through the viewfinder) series Theory: / TTV (Through The Viewfinder) photography is when you use an old medium format camera and a digital camera. / These old medium format twin reflex cameras have large viewfinders. Firstly you compose your image using the medium format camera (in my case i have used a mamiya c33) then you actually take the picture using a digital camera (here i use my pentax K10) of what is in the viewfinder of the old camera.

The tank was first used at the little known Battle of Flers. It was then used with less success at the Battle of the Somme. Though the tank was highly unreliable – as one would expect from a new machine – it did a great deal to end the horrors of trench warfare and brought back some mobility to the Western Front.

I got this one when I lost my leg at the Somme, and this when I was fighting the Martian Invasion, and this…I’m not really sure where I got this one… /

The Last Tommy. Harry Patch. 1898 – 2009 Recently we saw the very sad passing of Harry Patch, aged 111 and the last remaining UK soldier to fight in the trenches of the First World War.

Rest in Peace Harry.

/ Armistice Day is the anniversary of the symbolic end of World War I on 11 November 1918. It commemorates the armistice signed between the Allies and Germany at Rethondes, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front, which took effect at eleven o’clock in the morning — the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month”. While this official date to mark the end of the war reflects the cease fire on the Western Front, hostilities continued in other regions, especially across the former Russian Empire and in parts of the old Ottoman Empire.

Eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month ~ We shall remember them. From an old photograph of my Great Uncle Howard. Howard Lane was in the trenches in WW1.

Second of two in rememberence of Armistice day tomorrow 11.11.09. The image is of my uncle Howard who served in the trenches in WW1. Here is a poem from WW11, which has haunted me for years. The light of day is cold and grey and there is no peace / By the high white moon-washed walls, where we laughed and where we sung; / And I can’t go back to those days of short unthinking ease, / When I was very foolish and you were very young. / For you the laurel and the rose will bloom, and you will see / The dawn’s delight, firelight on rafters, wind, seas, and thunder, / Children asleep and dreams and hearts at ease, when life will be, / Even at its close, a quiet and ageless wonder. / For me the poppies soon will dance & sway in Haute Avenses: / The sunrise of my love slides into dusk, its day untasted; / Yet as I lie, turf-clad, and freed of passion, and of pain, / I find my sacrifice of golden things not wasted; / Your peace is bought with mine, and I am paid in full, and well, / If but the echo of your laughter reaches me in hell. DAVID GERAINT JONES / died of wounds, 1944 Thank you for looking. Canon EOS 50D / Canon28-135 mm lens
