Fields of Battle, Lands of Peace
The Guildhall in the City Of London is currently hosting ‘Fields of Battle, Lands of Peace’ which is a photographic exhibition.
It’s a unique portrait of the First World War battlefields, Fields of Battle - Lands of Peace 14-18 is a powerful outdoor photographic exhibition, by Michael St Maur Sheil, which tells of the healed scars of the First World War through our only remaining living witness:

I was lucky enough to be able to spend my lunch time reading the various historical explanations, poetry from soldiers and admiring the beautiful and moving photography.
I’ll share a small number of these below…
