The fact every English man doesn't have a Lee Enfield is a crime. They should handed out with every birth certificate.

Changing Battlefields - the Y Sap Mine Crater in Mash Valley at La Boisselle, filled in by the owner mid-1970s. This image was taken by John Giles in the early 70s, one of many of his I have in my archives. John founded @TheWFA in 1980 and wrote several books on #WW1.

The small and isolated Joncourt East British Cemetery contains 71 First World War burials, 62 of which belong to the 15th or 16th Lancashire Fusiliers or the 2nd Manchesters. All of the graves date from the period 30 September-3 October 1918.

Quite possibly one of the best photos I have ever taken on my mobile phone, the powerful colour of a lone poppy standing resolute amongst the wheat just outside @CWGC Beaumont-Hamel British Cemetery

Drone footage above the Lochnagar Mine Crater on the Somme. 60,000lb exploded at 7.28am on 1 July 1916. It never fails to impress and horrify.
