  • A cross in sunlight shows the Katyn memorial set in a forest in Warsaw, Poland. The Katyn war cemetery is a Polish military cemetery located in Warsaw commemorating the massacre of Polish officers during the second world war although the town of Katyn is a small village near Smolensk, Russia. It contains the remnants of 4,412 Polish officers of the Kozelsk prisoner of war camp, who were murdered in 1940 in what is called the Katyn massacre. The soldiers were buried in six large mass graves. Until 1991 it was known that the Nazis were responsible but after the end of Communism did they Russians admit that Stalin's forces killed the Poles. There is also a Russian part of the cemetery, where an undisclosed number of victims of the Soviet Great Purges of the 1930's were buried by the NKVD. The cemetery was officially opened in 2000.

One helps another to climb up to trace the imprint of their dead friend's name, mentioned with 58,195 other recorded casualties on its polished wall. The average age of those men was 19 in the sixties and seventies. The nation was mourning those killed in the New York and Washington attacks, and the military was about to mobilise once again with many American lives lost. The Vietnam war however, remains a low-point in the nation's history and the old men who survived return to 'find' their buddies which helps them deal with the traumatic loss of their friends and their own youth..

  • 13 year-old Adam leader celebrates his Bar Mitzvah by holding a lavish party in Borehamwood in north London, England. Paid for by his parents, the celebration took place in a hotel off the A1 road and here Adam can be seen surrounded like a celebrity by a gaggle of teenage girl friends, one of whom is dressed in a thin-strapped dress and pendant, giggling at a joke and all enjoying the occasion. Adam looks dashing in a rented dinner jacket complete with bow-tie. He is fresh-faced and clean-cut, cutting a handsome figure much-admired by his female friends. .

  • Moss and weeds now grow where once B-24 Liberators of the 392nd US Air Force bomb Group took-off to attack German cities during WW2. Land once again owned by local farmers, the airfields of Norfolk and Suffolk in south-east England were home to 85,000 US personnel from 1942-45.

  • At dawn, a week after the September 11th attacks in New York and in Washington DC, we see the haunted figures of war veterans looking up at the names of dead comrades of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Constitution Gardens, Washington DC where 58,195 names of casualties are recorded on its polished wall. In the foreground are some of those mens' identities whose average age was 19 in the sixties and seventies. A hazy sun rises over the point of the Washington Memorial at a time when the nation was mourning those killed in the New York and Washington attacks, when the military was about to mobilise once again with many American lives lost. The Vietnam war however, remains a low-point in the nation's history and the old men who survived return to trace their buddies which helps them deal with the traumatic loss of their friends and their own youth. .

  • This memorial has been placed where a man called 'Andre,' died at Butterfly Walk, London, England, UK. If we drove past this place where someone's life ended, the victim would just be an anonymous statistic but flowers are left to die too and touching poems and dedications are written by family and loved-ones. One reads: "?Did you witness anyone leaving the area with bloodstained clothing?." From a project about makeshift shrines: ?Britons have long installed memorials in the landscape: Statues and monuments to war heroes, Princesses and the socially privileged. But nowadays we lay wreaths to those who die suddenly - ordinary folk killed as pedestrians, as drivers or by alcohol, all celebrated on our roadsides and in cities with simple, haunting roadside remberences.

  • Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States sits on his throne watching over this nation's capital as a tourist is dwarfed in scale beneath. Strong but low orange light pours through the East-facing entrance. The Lincoln Memorial stands at the west end of the National Mall as a neoclassical monument to the 16th President. Designed by Henry Bacon, it stands almost 100 feet high, surrounded by 36 massive fluted columns, each 37 feet (10 m) high. The actual statue of Lincoln is 19 feet high and weighs 175 tons.

  • Celebrated grave for the Dublin-born playright and known homosexual, Oscar Wilde in the Pere Lachaise cemetery, Paris. 19th century Irish playwright and wit Oscar Wilde once quipped: "One can survive anything these days, except death, and live down anything except a good reputation." He died in Paris at only 46, impoverished and broken down from years of being villified by Victorian society. He was buried at Père Lachaise with a modest tomb, but a memorial was later erected. Today the monument is covered in lipstick marks left by ardent visitors..

Large white sheets pronounce prayers for the families of victims and to God Bless America.
