Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EG4C4W - . Britons Wants You recruitment poster urging men to join the country's army, First World War style propaganda. Photographed on 2 May 2026. The recorded location is United Kingdom. The design depicts a stern military figure pointing directly towards the viewer beneath the word BRITONS and the message JOIN YOUR COUNTRY'S ARMY, GOD SAVE THE KING. Recruitment posters became powerful symbols of the mobilisation of civilians for military service and relied on direct emotional appeals to duty, loyalty and national identity. Seen through public information, the earlier context is that wartime posters, medical supplies and military objects are powerful primary sources because they preserve the language and practical equipment of conflict
Recruitment, civil defence and first-aid material reveals how governments communicated urgency to the public. For printed ephemera, the historical context is that graphic design turns practical information into a visual object
Typefaces, layout and printing methods can identify a period or brand, while small paper items preserve prices, slogans and events that may otherwise leave little physical trace. The 2026 relevance of public information comes from the fact that contemporary interest in propaganda and information warfare gives historical recruitment and civil-defence posters fresh relevance, showing how visual communication was used to influence behaviour long before social media. For printed ephemera, the 2026 context is that much ticketing, advertising and personal communication is digital, making older printed ephemera increasingly distinctive evidence of pre-digital consumer life. Relevant synonyms and subject phrases include military history, wartime Britain, propaganda poster, Red Cross, first aid, wartime equipment, home front, conflict history, military artefact, war museum, remembrance, comic, voucher, stamp, typography, print history, and consumer culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T20EA8 - . The ISUPK - Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge, Saturday in High St, Birmingham , West Midlands, England, UK, B4 7SS. Photographed on 14 October 2023. The recorded location is 42 High St, Birmingham , England, B4 7SS. Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge (ISUPK) is an American non-profit organization and black supremacist, extremist religious sect based in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. The group is part of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, which regards American blacks as descendants of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the ISUPK a hate group, citing its extremist ideology and black supremacist rhetoric. The group is a part of the One West Camp movement, an offshoot of the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, and uses a variation on the former name of that group. Alongside numerous other sects and organizations within the Black Hebrew Israelite movement, ISUPK expounds extremist, black supremacist, religious anti-Semitic, and anti-White racist beliefs, as well as homophobic, transphobic, and sexist beliefs. Seen through campus, the earlier context is that school and university imagery documents the social history of education: buildings, uniforms, ceremonies and signs reveal how institutions present identity and how access to learning has changed. For wartime equipment, the historical context is that wartime posters, medical supplies and military objects are powerful primary sources because they preserve the language and practical equipment of conflict
Recruitment, civil defence and first-aid material reveals how governments communicated urgency to the public. The 2026 relevance of campus comes from the fact that higher education remains central to regional economies , particularly in cities where universities support research, employment and cultural life
Campus images therefore connect education with urban development and skills policy.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PP6X - This image shows a stained glass memorial window dedicated to the Inniskilling Dragoons, commemorating members of the regiment who died in 1854. The window features a richly coloured angelic figure holding a scroll, set within ornate Gothic tracery typical of mid-nineteenth-century ecclesiastical stained glass.
The Inniskilling Dragoons were a cavalry regiment of the British Army with strong associations to Ireland and later became part of the Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. The date 1854 places the memorial in the context of the Crimean War, a major conflict that had a profound impact on British military history and public consciousness.
Victorian memorial windows such as this were commonly installed in churches as acts of remembrance, combining religious imagery with regimental identity and personal sacrifice. They served both as devotional objects and as permanent public records of loss, honour, and service.
Photographed closely to show colour, detail, and inscription, the image documents the intersection of religion, military history, and Victorian commemorative culture. It is well suited for editorial use covering British military heritage, Crimean War remembrance, stained glass art, church interiors, and nineteenth-century memorial traditions.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PCB3G1 - The Warrington bombings were two separate bomb attacks that happened during early 1993 in Warrington, England. The first attack happened on 26 February, when a bomb exploded at a gas storage facility. It caused extensive damage but no injuries. While fleeing the scene, the bombers shot and injured a police officer and two of them were then caught after a high-speed car chase. The second attack happened on 20 March, when two small bombs exploded in litter bins outside shops and businesses on Bridge Street. Two children were killed and dozens of people were injured. Although a warning or warnings had been sent, the area was not evacuated in time.
The attacks were carried out by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and it has been claimed that members of Red Action were also involved
Shortly before midday on 20 March 1993, The Samaritans in Liverpool received a bomb warning by telephone. According to police, the caller said only that a bomb had been planted outside a Boots shop. Merseyside Police sent officers to branches of Boots in Liverpool and warned the Cheshire Constabulary, who patrolled nearby Warrington. About 30 minutes later, at about 12:25, two bombs exploded on Bridge Street in Warrington, about 100 yards (91 m) apart. The blasts happened within a minute of each other. One exploded outside Boots and McDonald's, and one outside the Argos catalogue store. The area was crowded with shoppers. Witnesses said that the first explosion drove panicking shoppers into the path of the next blast just seconds later. It was later found that the bombs had been placed inside cast-iron litter bins, causing large amounts of shrapnel. Buses were organized to ferry people away from the scene and 20 paramedics and crews from 17 ambulances were sent to deal with the aftermath

Referring to its sculptural interest, the citation states that the sculptural work is exceptional and is arguably Tyson Smith's finest and most powerful work. The design is considered to have contemporary significance in that rather than using allegory and heroic idealisation, it employs powerful and modern realist portrayals. The quality of its craftsmanship is praised, and it is also to have group value in its location near other listed buildings

The broader subject matter reaches into contemporary social history, adaptive reuse, local history, visual archive, architectural character, changing streetscape, historical comparison, place-making, heritage-led regeneration, regional identity, public-realm investment, documentary photography, town-centre renewal, and urban fabric. For current editorial use, public-realm investment and adaptive reuse provide additional context, especially through the value of reusing existing buildings rather than wholesale demolition. The image fixes street furniture and boundaries within Moscow, Russia at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against altered transport patterns. The subject also sits alongside period detail, urban regeneration, commercial redevelopment, civic architecture, local character, community identity, everyday life, and historic townscape. The recorded references to Russian, Soviet, Vladimir, special, and Ukraine preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. The wider setting at Moscow, Russia matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. The location additionally provides evidence of public-realm investment and the value of reusing existing buildings rather than wholesale demolition within the real-world context of Moscow, Russia. A further contemporary connection is planning and how public investment can reshape pedestrian movement and evening activity within the specific setting of Moscow, Russia.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PP7B - Linguaphone is a global language training provider based in London that has provided self-study language courses since 1901.
Methodology
Linguaphone's self-study courses follow Linguaphone's in-house methodology of Listen, Understand, Speak. Students are encouraged to listen to the language from the beginning, to begin to read as they listen, and only to speak once they have learned to understand the language presented.
Linguaphone was established in 1901 by Jacques Roston, a translator and language teacher, born in Poland, (Koło), and they were the first language training company to recognise the potential of combining the traditional written course with the wax cylinder and later with records.
At the height of their popularity, Linguaphone was not only a large, international publishing house with many prestigious representative offices (for books, records, tapes and cassettes) but they also ran fashionable language schools in a number of major cities across the world, such as London, Paris, New York and Tokyo. This chain of Linguaphone Institutes could claim to be the second oldest among the international language teaching establishments (the oldest being Berlitz, founded in 1878 and known today as Berlitz International, with the controversial[why?] Berlitz method) and, as such, Linguaphone had, at one time, the privilege of being an almost automatic first choice among the famous of the day, including royalty.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AR6MY2 - The Preston Pals War Memorial was installed on Preston Railway Station in July 2012. Situated between platforms 3 & 4, it honours the men who volunteered to fight in World War One within 7th Battalion, the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment (now part of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment).
Until the plaque was put in place there was no official Memorial to the Preston Pals, so a board of trustees was created by Andrew Mather to honour the men who left from Preston Railway Station on their fateful journeys
Soon after the outbreak of war between Great Britain and Germany on 4 August 1914, Earl Kitchener, the War Minister, laid plans to raise a New Army of volunteer recruits. To aid this scheme, he encouraged local councils to establish what became known as Pals battalions, made up of groups of friends and neighbours who were keen to fight alongside each other, rather than being individually assigned to regular army regiments.
The raising of the Preston Pals was first proposed by Mr Cyril Cartmell, son of the Mayor of Preston, Councillor (later Sir) Harry Cartmell. On 31 August 1914, Cyril Cartmell placed the following advertisement in The Lancashire Daily Post:
It is proposed to form a Company of young businessmen, clerks, etc, to be drawn from Preston and the surrounding districts, and be attached, if practicable, to a battalion of the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. Will those who would like to join apply here any afternoon or evening this week “ the earlier the better.
Within two days, 250 local men had volunteered for service, and the Preston Businessmen and Clerks' Company ” officially 'D' Company, 7th (Service) Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment ”, was formed. Three other companies making up the 7th (Service) Battalion were filled by Pals from Blackpool, Kirkham, and Chorley. The men were medically examined at the Public Hall, and on 7 Sep 1914, the Pals paraded before an enthusiastic and patriotic crowd before boarding trains

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDWT3P - The Ulster Tower is Northern Ireland's national war memorial. It was one of the first Memorials to be erected on the Western Front and commemorates the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division and all those from Ulster who served in the First World War. The memorial was officially opened on 19 November 1921 and is a very close copy of Helen's Tower which stands in the grounds of the Clandeboye Estate, near Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland. Many of the men of the Ulster Division trained in the estate before moving to England and then France early in 1916.
The Tower (plus a small cafe nearby) is staffed by members of the Somme Association, which is based in Belfast.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F1JA8C - Pan Am Flight 103 was a regularly scheduled Pan Am transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit, via London and New York, that was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on Wednesday, 21 December 1988, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew on board, in what became known as the Lockerbie bombing. Large sections of the aircraft crashed onto residential areas of Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 11 more people on the ground.
Following a three-year joint investigation by Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrest warrants were issued for two Libyan nationals in November 1991. In 1999, Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi handed over the two men for trial at Camp Zeist, Netherlands after protracted negotiations and UN sanctions. In 2001, Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was jailed for life after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder in connection with the bombing. In August 2009, he was released by the Scottish Government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in May 2012, remaining the only person to be convicted for the attack. He had continually protested his innocence.
In 2003, Gaddafi accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the families of the victims, although he maintained that he had never given the order for the attack. During the Libyan Civil War, in 2011, a former government official claimed that the Libyan leader had personally ordered the bombing. Numerous conspiracy theories have developed regarding responsibility for the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AT9EFA - .

The main subject is Canadian Stamp, Canada Stamp, Canada Post,used stamp, Stamp 34c, Canadian Forces Postal service, Service Postal des forces canadiennas. The setting also relates to cityscape history, urban commerce, visual archive, architectural character, architectural detailing, place identity, customer footfall, documentary photography, before-and-after reference, community identity, archival record, contemporary social history, public realm, and changing streetscape. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject sits within continuing debate about town-centre regeneration, changing footfall and the shift toward mixed retail, leisure, service and residential centres. The present-day relevance extends to historic townscape and adaptive reuse, while a wider concern is reusing existing buildings rather than demolishing them. For later comparison, the image retains a particular stage in the life of the location within Canada. Other useful associations include independent trading, local history, historical comparison, urban fabric, conservation architecture, high-street commerce, town-centre economy, and bricks-and-mortar retail. References to Canadian, Stamp, Forces, Postal, and canadiennas help fix the photograph to its own subject and period rather than reducing it to a generic view. For Canada, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. The location additionally provides evidence of town-centre regeneration and the rapid turnover of shopfronts and trading names as part of the longer story of Canada. A further contemporary connection is embodied carbon and reusing existing buildings rather than demolishing them when considered against later change at Canada.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED9DKK - Lichfield Cathedral is situated in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England. It is the only medieval English cathedral with three spires. The Diocese of Lichfield covers all of Staffordshire, much of Shropshire and part of the Black Country and West Midlands. The present bishop is the Right Reverend Jonathan Gledhill, the 98th Lord Bishop of Lichfield.
The cathedral is dedicated to St Chad and Saint Mary. Its internal length is 113 metres (370 feet), and the breadth of the nave is 21m (68'). The central spire is 77m (252') high and the western spires are about 58m (190').
The stone is sandstone and came from a quarry on the south side of Lichfield. The walls of the nave lean outwards slightly, due to the weight of stone used in the ceiling vaulting
some 200“300 tons of which was removed during renovation work to prevent the walls leaning further.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED33D - The West Port is a street in Edinburgh's Old Town, Scotland, located just south of Edinburgh Castle. It runs from Main Point (the junction of Bread Street, Lauriston Street, East Fountainbridge and High Riggs) down to the south west corner of the Grassmarket. Its name derives from the fact it sloped up from the West Port, which was the only westwards exit from the city when the city walls stood, allowing one to pass through the Flodden Wall. The port (gate) itself was demolished in 1786.

The original gate was guarded by a timber tower which was replaced by a stone tower in the 2nd century, and this in turn was replaced probably in the 14th century. The present gateway dates from 1768 and is a three-arched sandstone structure which carries the walkway forming part of Chester city walls. In 1899 a clock was added to the top of the gateway to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It is carried on openwork iron pylons, has a clock face on all four sides, and a copper ogee cupola. The clock was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas.

Follow me on Twitter twitter.com/HotpixUK
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
I was always a fan of the Icelantic led Sugar Cubes, meeting Steven McLaughlin doing a signing in my local bookstore, just meant this was my next post.
'Army of Me' is a song by Bj\u00f6rk, released in 1995 as the first, and leading, single from her second solo album Post. The song also appeared, later in the same year on the soundtrack of Tank Girl as well as in the soundtrack of Sucker Punch in 2011.
The song is dedicated to Bj\u00f6rk's brother. It shows Bj\u00f6rk daring him to move up and find a job to keep his life on, and also for him to not fall into bad things and learn to defend himself.
The music video for the song was directed by filmmaker Michel Gondry. It opens with Bj\u00f6rk, clad in a black karate gi, driving a large vehicle. The vehicle begins to sputter and slow, prompting Bj\u00f6rk to check the motor. The vehicle's engine assembly consists of a mouth in which and all of the teeth appear rotten, comically exaggerated by a shaggy-looking man engulfed in a stench-cloud crawling out of the mouth and offending passers-by.
Bj\u00f6rk touches her cheek, appearing to have a toothache, and proceeds to a nearby dentist's office. She is examined by the dentist, a anthropomorphic gorilla, who discovers a diamond in her mouth. The dentist attempts to steal the diamond for himself, but Bj\u00f6rk leaps onto his back and pummels him, and retrieving the diamond, escapes the office. She takes the diamond back to her vehicle, all the while it multiplies in size until she is barely able to carry it. Bj\u00f6rk tosses the diamond into the vehicle's mouth, apparently correcting its earlier affliction.
She then drives to a museum and proceeds inside, carrying a satchel containing a bomb. Sneaking past the museum's guards, she places the bomb on one of the exhibits, a man lying on an altar in a deep sleep. She then bolts toward the museum's exit, concerning the guards and other patrons. She makes it out of the building just moments before the bomb explodes. After the explosion, she re-enters the building to find the man from the altar, who appears to have been wakened by the blast. Bj\u00f6rk hugs him, crying teardrops of jewels, and the shot fades to black, showing a message 'To Be Continued.'.
I had a nice chat with Steven, he was a genuine bloke and I realised that soldiers are in some ways they are detached from the (often wrong) decisions that send them to the various war zones.
The book is a rivitting read, as described here in an Amazon review: 'Squaddie is without doubt the most original soldier's story of recent times
it is long overdue and most welcome, particularly for anyone who has ever served in the British Infantry. I myself served eight satisfying years in the QLR and left as a Platoon Sergeant, but until now I had never read a book that accurately captured the Squaddie experience - both the good, bad, and truly awful bits too!
The level of detail that McLaughlin goes into is astounding, and whether he is describing weapons systems, basic training, battalion life or operational tours - his descriptions are always bang-on, totally convincing, and unnervingly accurate. Several times reading this book I had to put it down and have a little daydream, such is the level of personal recall it stirred inside.
Those of us who have been there will know what he is talking about
being beasted around Catterick by depot-screws, trying to reassemble an SA80 in the field and losing your camstud, scraping the carbon off a Gimpy when your hands are so cold you just want to curl up and die, platoon mongs and stag bitches, etc - I swear this book took me right back in an instant.
In this day and age of overblown and exaggerated Special Forces accounts it's refreshing to see an ordinary soldier embracing his experience and celebrating the sheer bloody grind of being an Infantryman. What I particularly liked about this book is the total lack of heroics and the grim honesty with which the author appraises his own fears and weaknesses - and he confesses to many. McLaughlin is his own severest critic and openly admits his failings, going so far as to show himself in an extremely bad light at times - unlike other `heroes' we could mention. '

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K43P0H - . An identifiable period record of Great Britain, UK in 2011, retaining practical detail and local context that distinguish documentary photography from a generic illustration. At the centre of the view is Mobile dental Surgery sign, the way forward for NHS dentists and improving dental care?. The surrounding context encompasses social history, period lettering, local character, community identity, urban typography, graphic street detail, visual communication, visual archive, before-and-after reference, public realm, historical comparison, historic sign, archival record, and documentary photography. Current relevance extends to local history and public communication, particularly through the way lettering and materials contribute to local visual identity. The image fixes transport arrangements and footfall within Great Britain, UK at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against closure or conversion. The surrounding story also includes material sign design, street-level message, instructional wording, commercial ephemera, everyday life, public-facing signage, everyday visual culture, and changing streetscape. The combination of Surgery, forward, improving, dental, and dentists anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. The wider setting at Great Britain, UK matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. The wider significance includes local history and the way lettering and materials contribute to local visual identity within the specific setting of Great Britain, UK. Another strand within the photograph is local history and how signs can document commercial, social or regulatory change as part of the longer story of Great Britain, UK. The setting also helps illustrate advertising change and the survival of physical messages in an increasingly digital environment when considered against later change at Great Britain, UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEY9FY - . Boy kicking ball past the Shankill Road Mural, Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK, BT13 2AA near Ballysillan. Photographed on 23 June 2005. In the longer view, murals, sculptures and civic artworks turn public space into a record of local culture
They can commemorate people and events, respond to politics, celebrate industry or simply enliven streets, while the artists' materials and styles place the work within a particular period. In historical terms, images of parents, children and couples combine personal emotion with wider social context
They can illustrate care, intergenerational relationships, childhood and companionship while also documenting the environment in which those interactions take place. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that public art and murals remain important to place-making, tourism and regeneration, particularly in city districts where street art has become part of the visitor economy
They also raise questions about conservation, ownership, temporary work and the rapid redevelopment of urban neighbourhoods. During 2026, contemporary editorial use often places ordinary family interaction within broader discussions of public space, services, wellbeing and community life. In historical terms, art in public and historic settings adds another layer to the built environment
Sculpture, mosaic, painting and street art can interpret heritage, provoke debate, memorialise communities or create landmarks, and photographs preserve works that may later change or disappear. From a heritage perspective, public art can become part of the identity of a street or neighbourhood, recording political ideas, community history, humour, memory and changing cultural tastes
Murals, sculpture and decorative art are especially valuable as documentary subjects because they may be altered, moved, weathered or removed. Additional high-relevance terminology includes visual culture, cultural identity, community art, urban art, and visual storytelling.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYF8B - Eastgate and Eastgate Clock in Chester, Cheshire, England, stand on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.
The original gate was guarded by a timber tower which was replaced by a stone tower in the 2nd century, and this in turn was replaced probably in the 14th century. The present gateway dates from 1768 and is a three-arched sandstone structure which carries the walkway forming part of Chester city walls. In 1899 a clock was added to the top of the gateway to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It is carried on openwork iron pylons, has a clock face on all four sides, and a copper ogee cupola. The clock was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. The whole structure, gateway and clock, was listed by English Heritage on 28 July 1955 as a Grade I listed building

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M107K7 - The main bandstand in The Regent's Park is located on Holme Green, between the boating lake and Inner Circle. It was moved from Richmond Park to The Regent's Park in the 1970s.
On 20th July 1982, the bandstand was the target of a terrorist attack by the IRA. Seven bandsmen were killed and a further 24 injured during a concert by the band of the Royal Green Jackets. Eight members of the public, who were watching the performance, were also taken to hospital with injuries sustained in the bombing.
Today there is a small memorial plaque on the base of the bandstand that commemorates the seven bandsmen who were killed. Each year the attack's survivors, and the families of those who were killed, gather here for a short but poignant memorial service.
Two years after the bombing, the composer George Lloyd wrote Royal Parks For Brass Band, the second movement of which, In Memoriam is dedicated to the bandsmen who died. The piece still features in many band repertoires.
