The beauty of the To End All Wars project is the range of themes it covers, away from the usual focus on the Western Front. "We have dramatic reconstructions of the war in the Atlantic that could have come straight out of Steve Ditko's vault of horror" outline Jonathan and Brick on the project's web site. "We have the story of combatants' affection and need for pets in the trenches, related exclusively in pictures . We have the obligatory war poet's story, but that of a Welsh hill farmer rather than some bit of posh who's been done to death. And we have a feminist take on the controversial Mata Hari and the very personal story of an author's search for their great grandfather's memorial.
