  • To the frontpage of The Heritage of the Great War
  • Art of the First World War : to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of the First World War six important European Great War Museums have put 110 paintings from international collections on the Internet. Not contemporary art, but work made during the war. It is an excellent exhibition, well worth visiting.
