. It's intersting to see the growing look of tension on this young soldier's face, he's aware of the weapon in his hand, but he doesn't seem like he want to use it. This photo is slightly saddening to see a young american going into war when he appears as though he wants nothing to do with fighting.

. It's a fascinating opportunity to see the young men of the U.S perpare for a war, they train with a sense of duty and confidence, but I it's scary that these poor soldiers hae no idea what they're getting into.

. This photo seems uplifting, because it looks like this soldier has a renewed sense of hope, that through all the destruction and death of war, life can still survive. Something that peole need during a time of war is something to believe in, and in this case it's hope.

A British soldier playing with a cat, it gives an example of a brief reprieve during the war, it's a friendly photo, it makes it seeem as though there is a hope for peace.




 * King George V of England with General Sir William Robertson, Chief of the Imperial General Staff**

They both look very serious, yet slightly relaxed and confident in their ability to win the war, this picture gives a sense of confidence for those who look at it.

The germans have been captured by the marines, yet they don't appear distressed, as if they have confidence that Germany will easily win the war and give them their freedom. This picture arouses a bit of anger.

A large mass of people come to see this ship off as it sails into war, so many people gather because they believe in their country and hope the the marines will have the best of luck. It gives a feeling of pride.

This phot shows how people who fight together can become a family, and as they all serve in the war, they form a brotherhood and look out for one another during these distressful times.

This picture shows a boldfaced man who looks like he has a strong sense of duty, and that he is prepared to lead his country in to war, even if it means his own life.

This General appears calm,not very boldfaced or angry, but like he excepts his position and will go to war if he has to, but he doesn't look like he wants to.

This is a stern faced soldier who looks like he has seen a lot during wartime, and he is prepared to go into war again, despite the carnage he ahs witnessed.

Watching the british mariens marching through Ostend while the community goes about its regular activities makes things look hopeful for this city, and that Britain will protect them and not abuse their power.

They realize they have been hit but they will not give in after the enemies attack, and although this devsatation caught them by surprise, they will strike back.

This is a more upbeat photo, of a captain who appears to have a positive outlook on life, and much confidence in his own ability as a pilot. He has either not seen much carnage, or is strong willed and able to stay positive despite all this.

It's sad to have to see these peasants flee their village, but it shows they are strong because they refuse to die and will do whatever it takes to protect their own pride.

This photo is depressing, showing a once proud city that has been devastated by war, it gives the impression that all is lost.
