  • Deep below-decks, we peer through a striped window of the highly-classified Conflict Direction Center or War Room on the aircraft carrier US Navy USS Harry S Truman during its deployment patrol of the no-flyzone in the Persian Gulf, near the Kuwaiti coast. This top secret office is used for planning and executing sophisticated tactical electronic warfare that fighter jets and surveillance aircraft engage in from air operations mounted from the carrier. The Truman is the largest and newest of the US Navy's fleet of new generation carriers, a 97,000 ton floating city with a crew of 5,137, 650 are women. The Iraqi no-fly zones (NFZs) were proclaimed by the United States, United Kingdom and France after the Gulf War of 1991 to protect humanitarian operations in northern Iraq and Shiite Muslims in the south. Iraqi aircraft were forbidden from flying inside the zones. The policy was enforced by US, UK and French aircraft patrols until France withdrew in 1998.  .

  • A young Rt. Hon. Tony Blair MP helps launch a 1992 General Election campaign referring to Prime Minister John Major' failing policies, at Millbank, the notorious Labour Party headquarters in central London. Then, Blair had the shadow employment brief, five years before he went on to beat John Major in the '97 election as Labour Party Leader and Prime Minister. We see him here as a still ambitious, young-looking front-bench Labour politician with a fresh face and very dark hair. He wears a Labour rose in his suit's lapel.

  • A memorial to a soldier named Gary Golbey wreaths lie after Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in London's Whitehall, on 12th November 2019, in London, England. A Gulf War veteran who developed a brain tumour but went back on active service had died, aged 42. Colour Sergeant Gary Golbey, originally from Kidsgrove, was taken ill in 2005 when he was part way through his second tour of service in Iraq. But he fought back from his illness to return to the army while in remission. The champion Army boxer spent more than two decades with the Staffords – now 3 Mercian – and saw active service in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Iraq, where he completed two tours of duty.

  • Detail in the British Museum of an Assyrian relief. Assyrian kings competed to outdo each other with carved reliefs on interior walls. This tradition began with King Ashurnasirpal II (reigned 883-859BC) at Nimrud. In 612BC Assyrian cities were looted and destroyed by Babylonians and Medes and the sculptures were buried until discovered by British and French archaeologists in the 19th century. As a result, London and Paris have the largest collection of Assyrian reliefs outside Iraq.

  • Deep in the West Sussex countryside are a group of Territorial Army soldiers. They have stopped in a remote lane to consult their Ordnance Survey maps during a day of learning to navigate with maps and compasses. Over a weekend learn the skills needed to be part-time army volunteers known as the TA and have far to go. Together they look at maps and argue where they should go next. Looking on with mild amusement is their senior officer who accompanies them to assess their leadership skills and initiative. Behind them a road sign tells them the road ahead is a dead end to traffic. It is a very English summer landscape of lush green vegetation and grasses. The TA work as part of Britain's reserve land forces. Together with the Regular Army they provide support at home and overseas including Iraq and Afghanistan. .
