Amidst the ruins of war: A glimpse into the past and present of bombed-out lives. From Scotland's hostels for the displaced during WW1, to the devastation in Verdun Cathedral and the streets of Almondsbury and Bristol during the Blitz, the impact of bombing raids is a poignant reminder of human resilience. As we remember the young victims of WW2 with their cherished toys, we also reflect on more recent conflicts, such as the NATO bombing of Savski Venac in Belgrade. Through it all, the determination to rebuild and carry on shines through. #History #War #Resilience #BombedOut
