  • An officer bends down to inspect a soldier within a battalion of Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders regiment of the British Army, before a parade in front of Queen Elizabeth the Queen at the regiment's Edinburgh base at Redford Barracks, Scotland. The regimented rows and columns form a disciplined line-up of troops. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's) was an infantry regiment of the British Army until amalgamation into The Royal Regiment of Scotland in 2006. The regiment was created in 1881 as an amalgamation of the 91st and 93rd Regiments of Foot going on to serve in the First and Second World Wars, Korea, Aden. It was announced in 2004 as part of the restructuring of the infantry that the Highlanders would be amalgamated with the other Scottish infantry regiments into a single seven battalion strong Royal Regiment of Scotland.

  • The rare Victoria Cross is worn on the chest of the celebrated Nepali war veteran Bhanu Bhagta Gurung (also written Bhanubhakta), an ex-soldier of the British Gurkha regiment who in the second world war, earned his medals from repeated bravery against Japanese positions in Burma. He sits here on the terrace of his home, above the misty valley of Gorkha, Central Nepal. He is one of the last survivors of the remarkably brave men  who helped defeat the enemy in the jungles of south-east Asia. Gurung is the name of his Nepalese tribe (like the Sherpas who also come from the high Himalayan Kingdom). His company commander described him as "a smiling, hard-swearing and indomitable soldier who in a battalion of brave men was one of the bravest". Born September 1921 - died March 1 2008.

  • On a brick wall is a painted red hand that grips an Armalite automatic weapon which has been painted on to a street wall of a house off the protestant Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The red hand is actually better-known as The Red Hand Defenders (RHD),  a Northern Irish paramilitary group formed in 1998 and composed largely of Protestant hardliners from loyalist groups observing a cease-fire. It is composed of members of the Ulster Defence Association (largely those who once belonged to the now disbanded 2nd Battalion, C Company) and Loyalist Volunteer Force, most of whom are still part of the latter organisation.
