A propaganda poster for the RAF captures both the heroism and devastation that war brings - showcasing their might while acknowledging the destruction it leaves behind. The City of London in 1945 bears witness to its own rebirth from ashes; buildings shattered but spirits unbroken, as hope rises amidst scenes of desolation. HMS Iron Duke witnessed firsthand the Great Fire of Smyrna in 1922 - an inferno that consumed an entire cityscape and forever etched into history as one of humanity's darkest moments.
