Cenotaph Poppy vigil
Soul singer Joss Stone joined a vigil at the Cenotaph today to mark the start of the Royal British Legion¿s annual Poppy Appeal. Stone, 27, was among the first to take part in the sunrise-to-sunset vigil, alongside former Royal Marine Commando Pete Dunning, who lost both legs when he was struck by a bomb in Afghanistan. The watch was inspired by images of the repatriation of the Unknown Soldier in 1920. Stone clutched a photo of her great-great-grandfather Private Alfred Ernest Stenning, who was killed in the First World War. ¿These men are incredibly brave and a lot of them have laid down their lives so that we can live in a peaceful environment,¿ she said. Stone and guitarist Jeff Beck have recorded an official charity single, No Man¿s Land (Green Fields of France), for the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the war. David Cameron bought a poppy from the Royal British Legion outside No 10 today.

KAZAKHSTAN / Zhangiz-Tobe / 2008. Abandoned Soviet military base after the collapse of the USSR. Inside the Palace of Culture on the military base. The painting is a reproduction of the original by P. Krivonogov "Capitulation", 1946. Zhangiz-Tobe housed R-36 / SS-18 'Satan' intercontinental ballistic missiles, one of the most powerful of Soviet weapons. The end of World War II saw the USSR emerge as one of the world's two superpowers. Celebration of victory over Nazi Germany replaced the cult of Revolution and gave a legitimacy to the regime. The painful realities of the war often found expression in allegorical semi-religious images of mothers holding dead children in their arms. Honouring the immense sacrifices of the war was at least one thing which the government and the people could agree about.
Eric Lusito - Traces of the Soviet Empire
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/p8ug
These haunting photographs show the remnants of the once all-powerful Soviet empire.
They are the work of Eric Lusito, who spent six years travelling throughout the former Soviet world from East Germany to Mongolia, from Poland to Kazakhstan to seek out remains of the military installations that embodied the ambition and the might of the USSR.
Describing himself as working like an archaeologist, the French photographer says his project "Traces of the Soviet Empire" is a photographic record of the land and architecture - haunted by the symbols and history of a once powerful Empire.
The on-going project takes the form of three series: exteriors, interiors, and found photographs "images from another time, another space and another world".
What he found was colourfu

Battle of Belleau Wood WW1,north of Chateau-Thierry only 60 miles from Paris, France. March 2014.
Captured German guns in the cratered Belleau Wood, now named 'Bois de la Brigade de Marine' after the US 4th Marine Brigade. Now a permanent memorial site.The Battle of Belleau Wood (1¿26 June 1918) occurred during the German 1918 Spring Offensive in World War I, near the Marne River in France. The battle was fought between the U.S. Second (under the command of Major General Omar Bundy) and Third Divisions and an assortment of German units including elements from the 237th, 10th, 197th, 87th, and 28th Divisions.The battle has become a deep part of the lore of the United States Marine Corps. In March 1918, with nearly 50 additional divisions freed by the Russian surrender on the Eastern Front, the German Army launched a series of attacks on the Western Front, hoping to defeat the Allies before U.S. forces could be fully deployed. A third offensive launched in May against the French between Soissons and Reims, known as the Third Battle of the Aisne, saw the Germans reach the north bank of the Marne river at Château-Thierry, 95 kilometres (59 mi) from Paris, on 27 May. On 31 May, the 3rd Division held the German advance at Château-Thierry and the German advance turned right towards Vaux and Belleau Wood. On 1 June, Château-Thierry and Vaux fell, and German troops moved into Belleau Wood. The U.S. 2nd Division¿which included a brigade of U.S. Marines¿was brought up along the Paris-Metz highway. The 9th Infantry Regiment was placed between the highway and the Marne, while the 6th Marine Regiment was deployed to their left. The 5th Marines and 23rd Infantry regiments were placed in reserve.

Saint-Mihiel Salient Battlefield France. Memorial to the Old Men who fought at Flirey.March 2014.The Battle of Saint-Mihiel was a World War I battle fought from 12-15 September 1918, involving the American Expeditionary Force and 48,000 French troops under the command of General John J. Pershing of the United States against German positions. The United States Army Air Service (which later became the United States Air Force) played a significant role in this action. This battle marked the first use of the terms "D-Day" and "H-Hour" by the Americans.The attack at the St. Mihiel Salient was part of a plan by Pershing in which he hoped that the United States would break through the German lines and capture the fortified city of Metz. It was one of the first U.S. solo offensives in World War I and the attack caught the Germans in the process of retreating.This meant that their artillery were out of place and the American attack proved more successful than expected. Their strong blow increased their stature in the eyes of the French and British forces, but again demonstrated the critical role of artillery during World War I and the difficulty of supplying the massive World War I armies while they were on the move. The U.S. attack faltered as artillery and food supplies were left behind on the muddy roads.The attack on Metz was not realized, as the Germans refortified their positions and the Americans then turned their efforts to the Meuse-Argonne offensive.

Verdun WW1 Battlefield site, Verdun-sur-Meuse, France.March 2014..The Remains of Fort de Vaux on the Verdun Battlefield.Fort Vaux, located in Vaux-Devant-Damloup, Meuse, France, was built in 1881¿1884 at a cost of 1,500,000 Francs, built to house 150 men. it became the second Fort to fall in the Battle of Verdun. The first fort to fall had been Fort Douaumont which was virtually undefended and had been captured by a small German raiding party in February 1916. Fort de Vaux, on the other hand, was fully garrisoned when it was attacked on June 2 by German assault troops. The fort had been modernized before 1914 with additional reinforced concrete top protection, like at Fort Douaumont and thus did resist a German heavy artillery preparation which had included shelling by 16 inch howitzers. The superstructure of the fort had been heavily damaged but the deep interior corridors and stations remained intact and can still be seen in their original condition today. One of the fort's side bunkers ("Casemate de Bourges") is still equipped with its 75mm cannon.The defense of Fort Vaux was marked by the heroism and endurance of the garrison, including Major Sylvain-Eugene Raynal. Under his command, the besieged French garrison fended off repeated German assaults, including fighting underground from barricades inside the invaded corridors of the fort, which was the first major engagement to happen completely inside a fort during World War I. What was left of the French garrison finally gave up after it had run out of drinkable water (some of which was poisoned), ammunition, medical supplies and food. Raynal sent several messages to his commanding officers via homing pigeons (including the famous Vaillant[verification needed]), requesting relief for his soldiers.

Verdun WW1 Battlefield site, Verdun-sur-Meuse, France.March 2014.Seen here: The shell scared landscape and remains of the small defensive Ouvrage de Froideterre on hill 345 on the Verdun Battlefield. After Douaumont and Vaux forts fell to the Germans in 1916, this fort was one of the last lines of defence between the German Army and Verdun town.The Battle of Verdun lasted 9 months, 3 weeks and 6 days between 21 February and 20 december 1916. It was the longest and one of the most costly battles in human history; recent estimates increase the number of casualties to 976,000.
The Battle of Verdun (Bataille de Verdun), was fought from 21 February ¿ 18 December 1916 during the First World War on the Western Front between the German and French armies, on hills north of Verdun-sur-Meuse in north-eastern France. The German Fifth Army attacked the defences of the Région Fortifiée de Verdun (RFV) and the Second Army on the right bank of the Meuse, intending rapidly to capture the Côtes de Meuse (Meuse Heights) from which Verdun could be overlooked and bombarded with observed artillery-fire. The German strategy intended to provoke the French into counter-attacks and counter-offensives to drive the Germans off the heights, which would be relatively easy to repel with massed artillery-fire from the large number of medium, heavy and super-heavy guns, supplied with large amounts of ammunition on excellent pre-war railways, which ran within 24 kilometres (15 mi) of the front-line.The German strategy assumed that the French would attempt to hold onto the east bank of the Meuse, then commit the French strategic reserve to recapture it and suffer catastrophic losses from German artillery-fire, while the German infantry held positions easy to defend and suffered few losses. The German plan was based on the experience of the September ¿ October 1915 battles in Champagne (Herbstschlacht) when after early success the French offensive.

Somme WW1 Battlefield, July 1st-November 1916, France. German Military Cemetery at Rancourt ( Rancourt Soldatenfriedhof ). February 2014.There are only a few graves here from the early months of the war. Two thirds of the dead lying here are from the Battle of the Somme between July and November 1916. Most of the remainder are from the summer of 1918.In 1929 repairs were carried out following negotiations with the French Government and the mass graves were given a proper wall and planted with roses. Trees were planted and the cemetery was inaugurated on 17 September 1933.The problem of how to mark the names of the fallen had to wait until the end of the Second World War for a solution and eventually in 1972 the wooden crosses were replaced with crosses made from Belgian granite.There are two mass graves containing the remains of 7,492 soldiers of whom only 2,316 could be identified. © Brian Harris / eyevine.

Ypres-Ieper WW1 Battlefield, 1914-1918, Belgium. Hill 60, Ypres, Flanders, Belgium. February 2014. Hill 60 ( 60 metres above sea level ) is basically a mass grave, the trenches of WW1 were filled with the remains of the dead and covered after WW1. Hill 60, just south of Ypres in Belgium, is a preserved memorial landscape, battle scared with shell holes and exploded mine craters. Seen here: A metal piece of German fortification lies in a mine crater. The site is popular with visitors and school parties who often start their tour of the battlefields here.Caption information from Wikipedia:.The Battle of Hill 60 (17 April ¿ 7 May 1915) took place in Flanders, south of Ypres on the Western Front, during the First World War. Hill 60 was captured by the German 30th Division, on 11 November 1914 during the First Battle of Ypres (19 October ¿ 22 November 1914). The ground south of Zillebeke rises for 2,000 yards (1,800 m) to a ridge between Zwarteleen and Zandvoorde. Roads ran north-west to south-east through the area from Ypres to Verbrandenmoelen and Hollebeke and from Zillebeke to Zwartelen and Zandvoorde. The Ypres¿Comines railway ran roughly parallel to the roads from Ypres and 600 yards (550 m) from Zillebeke, went through a cutting 15¿20 feet (4.6¿6.1 m) deep, which extended beyond the crest of the ridge. Earth excavated when the railway was built, had been dumped on either side to form small hillocks. Two were on the west side, a long irregular mound atop the ridge called "The Caterpillar" and a smaller mound 300 yards (270 m) down the slope towards Zillebeke, known as "The Dump". On the east side of the cutting on the highest point of the ridge, was a third mound known as "Hill 60", from which observers had excellent observation of the ground around Zillebeke and Ypres.French preparations to raid the hill were continued by the British 28th Division, which took over the line in February 1915 and then by the 5th Division. The planned raid was expanded.

Waggon Road CWGC Cemetery is in the foregound, on the left is Frankfurt Trench CWGC Cemetery and slightly down in the valley on the River Ancre on the right is Ancre British CWGC Cemetery Beaumont-Hamel. On the ridge on the south side of the River Ancre on what was the German front line is the Thiepval Memorial which has over 72,000 names of British and South African Soldiers who have no known grave, their remains either still lie out on the battlefield under the farmers fields or buried in CWGC cemeteries on the Somme but not named. Beaumont-Hamel was captured in November 1916, in the Battle of the Ancre, and the graves in this cemetery are largely those of men who died at that time. The burials were carried out by the V Corps in the spring of 1917, after the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line. Waggon Road Cemetery (originally V Corps Cemetery No.10) contains 195 First World War burials (36 unidentified), 46 of them belonging to the 11th Battalion the Border Regiment, which attacked in the Ancre in both July and November 1916.The cemetery was designed by W H Cowlishaw.

Vimy Ridge WW1 Canadian National Memorial and Battlefield, Vimy, France. February 2014. The memorial took monument designer Walter Seymour Allward eleven years to build.The Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War 1914-1918 was a military engagement fought primarily as part of the Battle of Arras, in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France, during the First World War. The main combatants were the Canadian Corps, of four divisions, against three divisions of the German Sixth Army. The battle, which took place from 9 to 12 April 1917, was part of the opening phase of the British-led Battle of Arras, a diversionary attack for the French Nivelle Offensive.The objective of the Canadian Corps was to take control of the German-held high ground along an escarpment at the northernmost end of the Arras Offensive. This would ensure that the southern flank could advance without suffering German enfilade fire. Supported by a creeping barrage, the Canadian Corps captured most of the ridge during the first day of the attack. The town of Thélus fell during the second day of the attack, as did the crest of the ridge once the Canadian Corps overcame a salient of considerable German resistance. The final objective, a fortified knoll located outside the town of Givenchy-en-Gohelle, fell to the Canadian Corps on 12 April. The German forces then retreated to the Oppy¿Méricourt line.Historians attribute the success of the Canadian Corps in capturing the ridge to a mixture of technical and tactical innovation, meticulous planning, powerful artillery support and extensive training, as well as the failure of the German Sixth Army to properly apply the new German defensive doctrine. The battle was the first occasion when all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force participated in a battle together and thus became a Canadian nationalistic symbol of achievement and sacrifice. A 100 ha (250 acres) portion of the former battleground serves as a preserved memorial park. © Bria

Battle of Belleau Wood WW1,north of Chateau-Thierry only 60 miles from Paris, France. March 2014. The cratered Belleau Wood, now named 'Bois de la Brigade de Marine' after the US 4th Marine Brigade. Now a permanent memorial site.The Battle of Belleau Wood (1¿26 June 1918) occurred during the German 1918 Spring Offensive in World War I, near the Marne River in France. The battle was fought between the U.S. Second (under the command of Major General Omar Bundy) and Third Divisions and an assortment of German units including elements from the 237th, 10th, 197th, 87th, and 28th Divisions.The battle has become a deep part of the lore of the United States Marine Corps. In March 1918, with nearly 50 additional divisions freed by the Russian surrender on the Eastern Front, the German Army launched a series of attacks on the Western Front, hoping to defeat the Allies before U.S. forces could be fully deployed. A third offensive launched in May against the French between Soissons and Reims, known as the Third Battle of the Aisne, saw the Germans reach the north bank of the Marne river at Château-Thierry, 95 kilometres (59 mi) from Paris, on 27 May. On 31 May, the 3rd Division held the German advance at Château-Thierry and the German advance turned right towards Vaux and Belleau Wood. On 1 June, Château-Thierry and Vaux fell, and German troops moved into Belleau Wood. The U.S. 2nd Division¿which included a brigade of U.S. Marines¿was brought up along the Paris-Metz highway. The 9th Infantry Regiment was placed between the highway and the Marne, while the 6th Marine Regiment was deployed to their left. The 5th Marines and 23rd Infantry regiments were placed in reserve. On the evening of 1 June, German forces punched a hole in the French lines to the left of the Marines' position.
