War Pictures - Our Choices
The Heritage of the Great War features a War Picture of the Week : an extraordinary photograph, painting or drawing from the First World War 1914-1918, showing unusual detail or an unorthodox viewpoint. Sometimes these pictures are very rare and shown here for the first time on the Internet.
Together these choices form an interesting overview of some of the most poignant photographs of the Great War.
