War Grave and Memorial Photographs supplied by The War Graves Photographic Project

"The aim of The War Graves Photographic Project is to photograph every war grave, individual memorial, MoD grave, and family memorial of serving military personnel from WWI to the present day and make these available within a searchable database.

Now working as a joint venture with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, this will enable families, scholars and researchers to obtain, via the CWGC or TWGPP websites, a copy of the photograph of a grave or memorial which for many is impossible to visit due to the location."

Papers of the War Department - 1784 to 1800

"Fire destroyed the office of the War Department and all its files in 1800, and for decades historians believed that the collection, and the window it provided into the workings of the early federal government, was lost forever. Thanks to a decade-long effort to retrieve copies of the files scattered in archives across the country, the collection has been reconstituted and is offered here as a fully-searchable digital database."

Remember: for Cambodia, read Iraq-Comment-Columnists-Guest contributors-TimesOnline


  • In Indo-China the majority of Western journalists (including myself) believed
    that the war could not or should not be won. Similarly today, for too many
    pundits hatred (and it really is that) of Bush and Blair dominates
    perceptions. Armchair editorialists love to dismiss the US effort in terms
    of Abu Ghraib or Haditha. They were not typical moments. Evidence of the
    courage and commitment of ordinary US soldiers is inadequately covered by
    many papers, as is the courage of millions of ordinary Iraqis.


    There are encouraging signs — the Iraqi military is becoming ever more
    competent; Sunni tribal leaders seem increasingly angry with al-Qaeda
    brutalities; parliament is discussing contentious legislation on dividing
    oil and gas revenues fairly between different parts of the country; the
    dinar is still strong, indicating confidence; most Iraqis still seem to
    desire a united country.


    Of course huge mistakes have been made. We should lament and criticise them
    but not dismiss the underlying effort. President Bush’s new strategy (and
    probably his last throw) is to “surge” thousands of US troops into Baghdad.
    Rather than abusing him we should all be hoping that it is not too little
    too late.


    The consequences of an American defeat in Iraq would be even worse than in
    IndoChina. As the al-Qaeda leader in Iraq, Musab al-Zarqawi, said before he
    was killed by a US air strike: “The shedding of Muslim blood is allowed in
    order to disrupt the greater evil of disrupting jihad.”


    If Iraq collapses, such nihilist killing will spread far wider. As in
    Cambodia, bloody mass murder is the only alternative to what the US-led
    coalition is trying to achieve. Thanks to the sacrifice of young American
    and British soldiers, and to the courage of millions of ordinary Iraqis, the
    country can still have a better future — if we remain committed. Remember
    1975.
