75 years of peace in Europe: 1945 - 2020
Not quite a World free of war's but it's a significant triumph all the same!

"Sign Up Here.....Laddy"! A sight thousands of young men in 1914 would have known all to well.

The RAF Memorial to the Missing at Faubourg d'Amiens British Cemetery, Arras, France.

The German V-1 Launch site at Campneuseville - Beaulieu, Normandy, France.

The "Tommy Cooker"; This German PAK 76 Anti-Tank gun could hurl a tungsten cored shell with a striking velocity of nearly 3000 fps at 600 yds. Enough to punch clean through the armour of a Sherman Tank.

It's all about Firepower! Ball and Musket then, HE Shell now. The result is still the same though albeit a lot more efficient.

Concrete monsters built for belligerence they maybe, but one cannot ignore that they have a strange kind of beauty in their now abandoned state: German coastal artillery bunkers on the Atlantic Wall, Northern France.

One of the very few large German bunkers still in existence from WW1; this is the Ziegler Bunker near Ypres. It was used for artillery range finding, the large open window having a signalling lamp installed for that purpose.
