When I graduated from high school nearly 30 years ago, the history books showed only a few iconic photos/paintings of any of history's wars. Depending on the age level, there are many photos here that illustrate the periphery and aftermath of these battles.
There is much that can show the horror and devastating effects of war on both the active participants and the bystanders. Even something as simple as a rifle stuck in the ground with a helmet, at the head of a mound of earth, can be very powerful. |
Sometimes all that can be said is read in faces of those in such photos/renderings.
Mere words pale by comparison.
