No Man’s Land
By Darren Bailey LRPS
The battles of the World War II were fought across the globe from the fields of Western Europe and the Russian plains to the China and the waters of the Pacific. Beginning in 1939, these battles caused massive destruction and loss of life and elevated to prominence places that had previously been unknown. As a result, names such as Stalingrad, Bastogne, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima became eternally entwined with images of sacrifice, bloodshed, and heroism. The most costly and far-reaching conflict in history, World War II saw an unprecedented number of engagements as the Axis and Allies sought to achieve victory. During World War II, between 22 and 26 million men were killed in battle as each side fought for their chosen cause.
Art created using a Nikon D90 and a Nikkor 50mm f1.4
INTERESTING FACT
The helmet used in this piece is stamped 1943 and has the name " J Kay" scratched into the under side of the outer rim, I am currently researching this to see if I can find out who this helmet actually belonged to.
This research is ongoing.
Also used
1 X pasting table to set creation on
1 X bag of soil
1 X genuine WWII helmet
Barbed wire
Ammonium Dichromate
Methylated spirit
Zippo Lighter fluid
Fake spray blood
Dollop of imagination
