Enjoyed only Britten and documentary photos. Not my aesthetics I'm afraid.

Some of the religious imagery might feel out of place, but I cannot criticise this; as a tribute to those who died in World War I it's perfect, emotionally powerful but with a sense of concern to it, linking real images of conflicts that took place afterwards (Vietnam etc.) to emphasise that the horror of war still takes place.
