Images after the event

 

Many photographs from the Great War do not seem to have been published at the time. However, some, such as these below, did appear to mark anniversaries, such as the tenth and 25th anniversaries of the outbreak of war. Ironically, the latter were printed just a month before World War Two broke out.
