  • An information board in the Remembrance Garden (opened 2015), detailing the service and sacrifice of fallen WW2 Polish Air Force crews, at the Polish War Memorial, on 6th November 2019, in South Ruislip, Northolt, London, England. The Polish War Memorial is in memory of airmen from Poland who served in the Royal Air Force as part of the Polish contribution to World War II. The memorial was designed by Mieczyslaw Lubelski, who had been interned in a forced labour camp during the war. It is constructed from Portland stone with bronze lettering and a bronze eagle, the symbol of the Polish Air Force. The original intention was to record the names of all those Polish airmen who lost their lives while serving during WW2 (a total of 2,408) but there was not enough space for this and, as a compromise, the names of the 1,241 who died in operational sorties are there instead.

  • In memory of fallen WW2 Polish Air Force crews, are the front gates of Polish War Memorial, on 6th November 2019, in South Ruislip, Northolt, London, England. The Polish War Memorial is in memory of airmen from Poland who served in the Royal Air Force as part of the Polish contribution to World War II. The memorial was designed by Mieczyslaw Lubelski, who had been interned in a forced labour camp during the war. It is constructed from Portland stone with bronze lettering and a bronze eagle, the symbol of the Polish Air Force. The original intention was to record the names of all those Polish airmen who lost their lives while serving during WW2 (a total of 2,408) but there was not enough space for this and, as a compromise, the names of the 1,241 who died in operational sorties are there instead.

  • 1990s children play near a display of wartime Brits during 1995 VE Day 50th anniversary celebrations in London. Two girls wearing identical pink costumes with hearts stand near the poster of the happy wartime couple. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.

  • Two serving soldiers in civilian suits but wearing the insignia and badges of the Royal Military Police (RMP), talk quietly together while poignantly paying their respects to the hundreds of markers that symbolise war dead. Crosses and poppies mark anonymous fallen British soldiers and other servicemen and women, all killed during recent conflicts. Dedications from loved-ones or simply well-wishers are written on the wooden crosses on the weekend that Britain commemorates those killed on active service in trouble spots and war locations around the world, the markers a laid on the grass of Westminster Abbey's lawns on Parliament Square, opposite the Houses of Parliament. Armistice weekend is largely held on the closest Sunday to the 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, when hostilities famously ended in on 11th November 1918...
