Seven men who just became numbers reported in government and media reports. This is part of a group that had been told to sit down and empty their pockets and make ready any ID they may have. Border Patrol agents and vehicles are just out of the frame. These men had just been found in a rugged area south of Ruby Road and west of Nogales.
Many large groups are guided through the desert by guides which have arranged to have someone pick the group up along an isolated road. The lone crossers or small groups that get seperated from larger groups often have no idea how far they must walk. Many cross with the idea that they are going to walk to Phoenix.....not knowing that in some cases this would be over 150 miles on foot.

Assassin's Creed Origins is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the tenth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2015's Assassin's Creed Syndicate. It was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 27, 2017. The game is set in Ancient Egypt during the Ptolemaic period and recounts the secret fictional history of real-world events. The story explores the origins of the centuries-long conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins, who fight for peace by promoting liberty and The Order of the Ancients—forerunners to the Templar Order—who desire peace through the forceful imposition of order. Origins received positive reviews from critics, who praised the story, voice acting, immersive world of Egypt and visuals, while criticizing some of the pacing and technical issues. Despite this, some critics called it the best installment of the series since 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by L. C. H. The card has a divided back.
Enemy artillery during the Great War targeted churches, cathedrals and other tall buildings because of their value as observation posts. Shells aimed at churches which just missed their target tended to fall in the churchyards, throwing up gravestones, coffins and corpses.
'The Shell' by H. Smalley Sarson
'Shrieking its message the flying death
Cursed the resisting air,
Then buried its nose by a battered church,
A skeleton gaunt and bare.
The brains of science, the money of fools
Had fashioned an iron slave
Destined to kill, yet the futile end
Was a child's uprooted grave'.
Abba Eban
"History teaches us that men and
nations behave wisely when they
have exhausted all other alternatives".
This was said during a speech in London UK on 16th. December 1970 by Abba Eban (1915-2002), an Israeli diplomat and writer.
Visé Paris
The reference to 'Visé Paris' means that the image has been inspected by the military authorities in the French capital and deemed not to be a security risk.
'Visé Paris' signifies that the card was published during or soon after the end of the Great War.
Vermandovillers
Vermandovillers is a commune in the Somme département in Hauts-de-France in northern France. It is situated 26 miles (42 km) east of Amiens.
A Great War Battle at Vermandovillers
A German attack occurred on the 24th. September 1914. It was partially blocked by the 75th. Infantry Regiment at Vermandovillers’ Etoilé woods near to Herleville.
The front was stabilised for two years until the spearhead attack of the 4th. September 1916 at edge of Etoilé woods. The attack had been assigned to the 132nd. Division of the 10th. Army, against heavily concreted machine gun bunkers that the Germans had been building for 2 years.
The battle ended on the 9th. September 1916 because of lack of troops. The 158th., the 366th. Infantry Regiment and the 1st. Battalion Chasseurs showed exemplary conduct and suffered heavy losses.
Between the 4th. and 9th. September 1916, the 86th. Brigade lost 1,071 men, the 264th. Brigade lost 1,513 and 108th. Brigade 1,580.
These figures account for the fact that within a 5 kilometre (3 mile) radius around Vermandovillers, there are buried 1,261 French soldiers. 22,632 German soldiers lie in the Vermandovillers German war cemetery, including the writers Reinhard Johannes Sorge and Alfred Lichtenstein.
In the Somme there are 410 Commonwealth cemeteries,
22 French Military cemeteries and 14 German cemeteries.
The largest of them is the German cemetery situated on the
French front at Vermandovillers. 10,000 men were laid to rest under black crosses; the remainder were buried in 15 mass graves.
The British are not counted because although many were killed in the fighting, they are buried mainly near the Villers–Bretonneux Australian National Memorial.
A Poem About the Battle of the Somme
'It was 1916 on the 1st of July
That artillery and smoke blackened the sky.
Shots rang out and men fell dead,
The sky was black, while the ground was red.
To battle the Germans the French and British had come,
To the bloodiest fight of the War, The Battle of the Somme.
While artillery rained down on the German side
The allies swallowed their fear and stood with pride.
Waiting to be ordered over the top,
To run without question, don’t look back and don’t stop.
But this is when the slaughter started,
Machine guns screamed out as bodies and limbs became parted.
Fifty-eight thousand casualties in one single day
‘A necessary loss’ the Generals would say.
‘We will rest for now and recommence tomorrow
No time for the men to indulge in their sorrow’
So they readied the next batch of men for the slaughter,
Would they fare better when faced with the mortars?
The answer to this question was obviously no
As the casualty counts continued to grow.
For every single centimetre of ground that was taken
The lives of two men were sadly forsaken.
And so the battle waged on and on,
The bloodiest battle of World War One.
Yet as they made progress towards German lines,
The allies had one thing in the front of their minds.
For the Germans had a weapon the allies had yet to discover
One that would find men even if they took cover.
As the allied assault drew nearer and nearer
The time to use this weapon had never been clearer.
The little grey canisters flew through the air
Giving the allied forces more than a scare.
The men now engaged in a fight for their lives,
They could not protect themselves with their guns or their knives.
Their only weapon now was a mask
But fitting it in time was a very hard task.
‘Gas, Gas!’ some men would cry
Most had masks, the rest would die.
Their screams could be heard as they approached their death,
Blood curdled in their lungs as they drew their last breath.
Eventually their eyes would roll back in their head
And with a final twitch and spasm they lay still, dead.
And so the battle waged on and on,
The bloodiest battle of World War One.
Even with the threat of the German gas,
It was time for a final allied assault to mass.
And with this Britain unveiled their tank
When the battle ended they had this to thank.
It stormed over No-Man’s Land, through German wire,
The Germans shook in fear as it prepared to fire.
For the British troops it opened the way,
For the deaths of their comrades the Germans would pay.
And the German death count grew and grew
As the allied assault continued to break through.
And though the fighting had not ended,
The morale of the allies began to get mended.
They pushed with valor towards their objective,
With a new vigour the Germans had not expected.
Although the enemy held, and did not retreat
This battle is viewed as a German defeat.
It was 1916 on the 21st of November
That the five month long battle was finally over.
No shots rang out but thousands were dead,
The sky was still black, the ground was stained red.
To battle the Germans the French and British had come,
To the bloodiest fight of the War, The Battle of the Somme'.
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
If the 170m rounds were on average two feet long, and if they were laid end to end, they would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres); the line would go round the equator over two and a half times. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.
The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous. For more on this, please search for "Cotehele Chapel"
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'

The Nevermen
By Mark Allen
Different is good, right? Well, sometimes. Unfortunately, that can't be said in the case of The Nevermen, by Phil Amara and Guy Davis.
Primary problems with this book are a confusing plot filled with characters on whom no background nor motivation is given (so why should we care about them?), and which quickly creates the feeling that the reader has been dropped into the middle of a very convoluted storyline.
Let's begin with the main characters, the Nevermen; five crime-fighting individuals in hat, trench coat, and goggles, among whom it is impossible for the human eye to distinguish a difference. From the beginning, the reader is treated to various scenes in which one or two of the Nevermen engage villains in battle, for no obvious reason except that they are villains. In those scenes, it is nearly impossible to tell which of the clone-like Nevermen are even involved in the struggle. And, though the story does come together in the final issue, it is a long, baffling ride to a barely-satisfying conclusion. Now, since The Nevermen is supposed to be a mystery, many might argue the merit of this type of storytelling. But background and character motivation does nothing to spoil a good mystery.
Guy Davis' art is one of the few saving graces of this work. His dark, somewhat-sketchy style lends a very menacing atmosphere to the city and its villains. High marks also go to the artist's conceptions of many of the characters, Manboulian, a chilling villain, much of who's skeleton is exposed, as well as The Murderist, a former Neverman himself, are both visually entertaining. The Nevermen themselves, with their trench coats and strength-enhancing/gadget-laden exoskeletons are an interesting visual blend of pulp detective and superhero.
The art of a comic is important. It is, however, secondary to the story itself. Those wishing to indulge in the empty calories of eye-candy, help yourself to The Nevermen. Contact www.darkhorse.com or your local comic shop for availability.

The Postcard
A postcard published by the Photochrom Co. Ltd.
The card was posted in Margate on Friday the 19th. September 1919 to:
Miss G. Stiles,
36, Brookwood Road,
Southfields,
London S.W.
The pencilled message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Churchfield Boarding
House,
Churchfields,
Margate.
Dear Grace,
We are having a ripping
time.
Our faces are quite sore
being sunburnt.
Fancy George being in
England.
I am glad I have an extra
week's holiday, I want the
time we have down here
not to go quickly.
Love from Rose".
The Photochrom Co. Ltd.
The Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London and Royal Tunbridge Wells originally produced Christmas cards before becoming a major publisher and printer of tourist albums, guide books, and postcards.
These mainly captured worldwide views as real photos, or were printed in black & white, monochrome, and color.
They also published many advertising, comic, silhouette, novelty, panoramic, and notable artist-signed cards in named series as well. The huge number of titles that Photochrom produced may well exceed 40,000.
In 1896 they took over Fussli’s London office established three years earlier, and began publishing similar photo-chromolithographic postcards after securing the exclusive English licence for the Swiss photochrom process.
This technique was used to produce a great number of view-cards of both England and Europe. While they captured the same fine details as the Swiss prints, their colours were much softer and reduced.
Apart from their better known photochroms, they produced their Celesque series of view-cards printed in tricolor.
One of the largest unnamed series that Photochrom produced was of view-cards printed in brown rotogravure. Many of these cards were simply hand coloured with a dominant red and blue, which gives these cards a distinct appearance. They are similar to cards produced in their Photogravure and Velvet Finish Series.
Photochrom postcard series include:
-- Night Series - Line block halftone over a blue tint depicting London.
-- Carbofoto Series - Black & white real photo cards.
-- Sepiatone Series - Sepia real photo cards.
-- Grano Series - View-cards printed in black & white.
-- Exclusive Photo-Color Series - View-cards printed in colour.
-- Duotype Process Series - View-cards printed in two tones.
Cliftonville
Cliftonville is a coastal area of the town of Margate, situated to the east of the main town. It contains the area known as Palm Bay.
The original Palm Bay estate was built in the 1930's as a number of large, wide avenues with detached and semi-detached houses with driveways, garages and gardens. This land was sold by Mr Sidney Simon Van Den Bergh to the Palm Bay Estate Co. on the 23rd. June 1924. Such avenues include Gloucester Avenue and Leicester Avenue.
East Cliftonville
The Palm Bay estate covers the eastern part of Cliftonville, and was fields before the first avenue was built. It extends east beyond Northumberland Avenue and has been developed in phases. The later phase extending eastwards of Princess Margaret Avenue is a modern-style housing estate with small houses largely identical in appearance and of less substantial build quality than the original 1930's estate.
The eastward expansion of Cliftonville has included much of the former parish of Northdown, including Northdown Park and House.
West Cliftonville
West Cliftonville was originally developed as the up-market alternative to bustling Margate, and had many small private hotels and guest houses with outstanding Victorian architecture which catered for the many visitors to what was in the first half of the 20th. century a thriving holiday resort.
Many of the large hotels have been converted into one bed flats; this has brought about positive action from Thanet District Council which introduced selective licensing, ensuring that quality home improvements are maintained by landlords (2006) and restricting planning permission for one bedroom flats (2007).
Cliftonville now has many of its streets protected by conservation area orders. The seafront area once included many large hotels, including at one time a large Butlins complex. Some fantastic hotels remain, e.g. Smiths Court Hotel overlooking the sea, and The Walpole Bay Hotel.
Tourism and visitor numbers have increased in Cliftonville (2018) with the addition of newly opened bed and breakfasts changing the Cliftonville landscape. Northdown Road and Cliff Terrace have also had a resurgence, with many trendy and hip businesses opening up.
The Oval Bandstand and lawns run by community group GRASS Cliftonville bring an opportunity to bring community engagement to Cliftonville, and they host a monthly award-winning farmers' market on the last Sunday of every month.
During the summer there are a number of activities and events, including musical shows. The Tom Thumb Theatre brings a host of music events and theatre to Cliftonville.
Writing and Poetry
During the first half of the 20th. century, Cliftonville was considered the fashionable hotel quarter of Margate. It was during the autumn of 1921 that T. S. Eliot spent a period of convalescence at the Albermarle Hotel. His widow has confirmed that he found inspiration for, and wrote significant sections of 'The Waste Land' in the Grade II listed Nayland Rock promenade shelter.
The spirit of early 20th. century Cliftonville was caught by John Betjeman in his poem "Margate Pier".
Trevor Howard
The actor Trevor Howard was born in Cliftonville on the 29th. September 1913.
Sugar Consumption in the U.S.
So what else happened on the day that Rose posted the card?
Well, on the 19th. September 1919, the Chicago Tribune reported that the consumption of sugar in the United States for the first 7 months of 1919 was 362,000 tons more than during the corresponding period in the previous year.
This was according to statistics compiled by the United States Sugar Equalization Board.
This represents an increased per capita consumption of one pound per month. So now you know.
On the penultimate day of its 39th session the World Heritage Committee discussed the Global Strategy. The package of measures adopted in 1994 aims at balancing the World Heritage List. Cultural and natural heritage should be equally considered as well as a globally equitable distribution of the inscribed sites.
In the evening the Committee celebrated the conclusion of its Bonn meeting. Committee Chairperson Maria Böhmer, UNESCO Assistant Director-General Alfredo Pérez de Armiñán and the President of the German Commission for UNESCO Verena Metze-Mangold delivered their greetings. In her speech Böhmer appreciated the UNESCO as a place for mutual respect, trust and friendship across all borders.

The reference in the bottom-left corner to 'Visé Paris' followed by a unique number means that the image has been inspected by the military authorities in the French capital and deemed not to be a security risk.
'Visé Paris' indicates that the card was published during or soon after the end of the Great War.
The Battle of the Somme
The Battle of the Somme took place between the 1st. July and the 18th. November 1916 on both sides of the upper reaches of the River Somme in France.
In total, more than one million men were wounded or killed, making it one of the bloodiest battles in human history.
Amongst Oxford men who lost their lives were the Prime Minister’s son Raymond Asquith (All Souls) and the War Poet William Noel Hodgson (Christ Church), who wrote the following poem in the days leading up to the battle:
'By all the glories of the day
And the cool evening’s benison
By that last sunset touch that lay
Upon the hills when day was done,
By beauty lavishly outpoured
And blessings carelessly received,
By all the days that I have lived
Make me a soldier, Lord.
By all of all man’s hopes and fears
And all the wonders poets sing,
The laughter of unclouded years,
And every sad and lovely thing;
By the romantic ages stored
With high endeavour that was his,
By all his mad catastrophes
Make me a man, O Lord.
I, that on my familiar hill
Saw with uncomprehending eyes
A hundred of thy sunsets spill
Their fresh and sanguine sacrifice,
Ere the sun swings his noonday sword
Must say good-bye to all of this; –
By all delights that I shall miss,
Help me to die, O Lord'.
(Before Action, 1916)
‘Before Action’ is a three-fold prayer for courage in the face of death, and it has become part of the story of the battle.
Noel's battalion was to advance across the downward slope of a hill, in full view of German trenches on three sides. They knew how slender their chances were.
On 1 July 1916, two days after the publication of ‘Before Action’, Noel Hodgson was killed in the opening minutes of the advance, as he had expected. Over half the battalion and all but one of the officers who fought that day became casualties alongside him.
Very gratifying to have my photograph "Silo" selected by Amateur Photographer Magazine as their "Online Picture of the Week" and published in the 15 November 2014 issue of the magazine.

Tigers, snaked and elephants,
and monkeys climbing trees,
And we can't find the pathways,
Amidst the jungle's menageries
with our little legs and limbs
we walk through the green maze
And the slight beams of sunlight that crep through,
The leafy trees, shows us the sights that amaze
In the anima world, we're happy to be elite,
The ones who finds time to enjoy Mother Nature's retreat
There's danger and fun, but we kids like to play,
And for many men it's a rare treat
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 12th of January 1916.

Photographer: Sydney Charles Smith, Balaena Bay, Wellington, with James Bringin’s boatyard, ca 1920, Sydney Charles Smith photographs, Alexander Turnbull Library, Reference: 1/1-019613-G
Published in the Capital Times, 27 June 2012
Here is Balaena Bay, with Roseneath in the background, photographed just before the First World War. By then yachting had become a popular Wellington pastime, and the Bay was one of the few places around the harbour where boats could be hauled up for repairs and maintenance.
It was a boat building centre too. At the time of this photograph the boatbuilding business in the shed on the right was run by James Bringins. Other notable boat builders who worked there included Ted Bailey and Joe Jukes. Between them they built some of Wellington’s best-known yachts, launches and fishing boats.
Balaena Bay continued to be a hang-out for local boaties until the 1950s. By then, though, Roseneath residents wanted the beach for swimming. Sand was laid over the stones, and the boats were slowly moved away.
Most of the classic wooden boats from the time of this photograph have long gone. One of the best, though, will soon be sailing again. The 22-foot sloop “Lizzie” was built by Bailey at Balaena Bay in 1909. Several years ago she was a derelict wreck in Auckland. Now you can see her on the Clyde Quay slipway being lovingly restored by enthusiasts of the Wellington Classic Yacht Trust. She will be a fine sight on the harbour next summer.

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 20th of August 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.

Half way done with my 365 project and all the outcomes have been amazing!
3,000 followers with a little over 350,000 views, published 7 times in 5 different countries, but the most beautiful things have been the friends I've met, the stories I've heard and the people I've gotten the chance to work with!
This special half-project post was a collaborative with a great friend I met through one of the magazines I got to work with: Elen Tinoco an amazing photographer and philosopher! Please make sure you check out her work and GET INSPIRED!
