... wäre cool. Dann könnte man die Mauer verteidigen. Aber so ist es nur ein weiterer Regentag. Und das Einzige, was am Tor poltert, sind irgendwelche Matsch-Wesen. Nee, das wird heut nix mehr.

The war memorial consist of a bronze women kneeling down with an arm extended holding a lamp of liberty. Quoted from the War Memorials website.
There is a particular place reserved in Hell for those who profit from war and suffering. Dante believed it and so do I. The argument for a just universe is my strongest reason for believing in Eternal Justice. Otherwise the suffering of the innocent means nothing, and I cannot abide living in such a meaningless universe.
In this poster I have made it deliberately hard to read. Red text on a sea of blood. I find it almost physically nauseating to read. I don't apologise because actual blood is being spilt right now.
Bob Dylan's greatest and most bitter protest song needs to be heard again. Listen to this as you read the lyrics I will print out below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEmI_FT4YHU
"Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead."
This is the truth and I agree with Dylan's every word!
***BOYCOTT THIS GROUP!**********
I have been banned from a little group called "Worldwide Photography" for posting my opposition to Putin's War in Ukraine. This was just a summary decision announced in this thread.
www.flickr.com/groups/ww-photo/discuss/72157721916159941/
According to this Admin speaking out against an unjust war is "hate speech". This Admin Putin-lover has even said he will report us to Flickr. If this idiot (Stalin called Western fellow travellers "useful idiots") can't distinguish between a just and unjust cause it shows how deeply flawed and ready for total collapse our Western civilization is. I strongly suggest you boycott this group.
When you check out the Admin's own page you will see it is full of pro-Russian images. www.flickr.com/photos/-eu
I've blocked him as well.

I took a couple of photos of these old heroes from World War 2. I'm sorry I can't identify any details about them. Although our grandparents fought in the First World War, my Dad was badly short sighted (worked in the Civil Service instead) and wore glasses and Tim's Dad was disabled when he was 19.
This is one of two trophy prizes for the micro build category for the Small Wars contest that I'm hosting. More images of the trophies in my profile :)

I live in Prague but I come from Kosice in Slovakia which is close to Ukrainian border. I couldn't image war in Europe alas here it is. Who wants war? This is beyond my understanding. May peace be with us!
"Soldiers of the Rebel Alliance, this is our most desperate hour. You are our only hope."
―Gial Ackbar
Rebel troopers, also known as Rebel fleet troopers or Rebel soldiers, were the front-line soldiers of both the early rebel movement and later, the Rebel Alliance in the early war against the Galactic Empire and later the Galactic Civil War. Initially formed from loosely connected resistance cells, the leadership of Mon Mothma saw them become an impressively armed and trained galaxy-spanning infantry.

War-Horse unveiled in 2018 to commemorate one hundred years since the end of WW1 and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Known as the memorial to an unknown sailor. This image was taken in 2006 when all was quiet & peaceful there , in this lovely city. Now this image has very unpleasant overtones ,as this nation is fighting for its very existence.

....Here we are, standing at a door step of peace.
A war in which difference between a soldier and a civilian were nonexistent is now over.
This day, the 25th of September 2023 will be remembered as begging of a new age of humanity......

War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yeah
War-I despise
'Cos it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives...

This moving statue stands in Romsey War Memorial Park, and is probably the only statue in the world commemorating horses in the service of war.
The statue commemorates the role of Romsey in the First World War when the Romsey Remount Depot stood on Pauncefoot Hill to the south-west of the town. Here horses from England, Ireland, and the USA trained for military duties, before being shipped to France from Southampton.
After the war, the depot buildings were demolished and the materials used as hardcore to raise the ground upon which the park was created. Buried under the footings of the War Horse statue are four horseshoes found on the battlefields of France, a Remount Depot Cap badge and two terracotta horses made by local school children.
The statue is made of bronze resin, and was sculpted by local artist, Amy Goodman. It was unveiled by HRH The Princess Royal in July 2015 to mark the centenary of the opening of the Romsey Remount Depot.
