Contemporary World War One illustration of a cavalry charge by British troops in France. At the beginning of WW1 all of the combatant armies still retained substantial numbers of cavalry and there were a number of traditional cavalry actions in the opening battles of the conflict. Later, as the front lines stabilised, a combination of barbed wire, machine guns and rapid fire rifles proved deadly to mounted troops and horse cavalry units tended to be converted to infantry. By the end of the war cavalry had virtually no useful role left to play - the days of cavalry warfare had effectively been consigned to the history books. The image appeared in The War Illustrated periodical in May 1917. The artist was Stanley L Wood (1866 – 1928).

Vintage lithograph print depicting the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland in July 1690. It shows Protestant King William III (William of Orange) on a white horse leading his troops to victory over the former King James II, a Catholic. The battle between the two claimants to the English, Scottish and Irish thrones was fought on the banks of the River Boyne near the town of Drogheda and is the best remembered of the Williamite War. James II was attempting, with the help of French and Irish Catholics, to regain the crown he had lost in 1688 but was defeated by William III's force of English, Dutch, Danes, Scots, French Huguenots and Irish Protestants and subsequently fled the country. The dying man being carried by others in the lower right of the picture is the veteran soldier the Duke of Schomberg, William's second-in-command, who was killed in the fighting. The battle is celebrated in Northern Ireland as a victory for the Protestant cause. Print circa 1865 by Major & Knapp from a painting by Benjamin West.

Vintage engraving print depicting the Battle of Lexington on April 19 1775 - the first military engagement of the American Revolution. It depicts a line of "minutemen" in the foreground exchanging fire with oncoming British troops. The battle was a skirmish between regular British soldiers and approximately 77 local minutemen under the command of Captain John Parker at Lexington, a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Several hundred redcoats were on their way from Boston to seize colonists' military stores in the nearby town of Concord when the confrontation occurred. The minutemen militia - so-called because they were "ready at a minute's notice" to repel attackers - confronted them on the green. It remains unclear who fired the first shot but an exchange of gunfire broke out which left eight colonists dead or dying. The British moved on to Concord, where the stores had been removed by the colonists, and another firefight ensued with a larger force of colonists. The soldiers withdrew and made their way back to Boston - continually harried by local militia firing from behind barns, trees and walls. The historic skirmishes claimed the lives of 273 British soldiers and 95 colonists. Print circa 1903 by John H Daniels & Son.

Contemporary World War One illustration of Australian troops capturing a German machine-gun position in an improvised fort in the French village of Pozieres. The Battle of Pozieres was a struggle for control of the strategically important village and the ridge on which it stands during the middle stages of the 1916 Battle of the Somme. British troops were engaged in most phases of the fighting but Pozieres is mainly remembered as an Australian battle. Allied forces eventually took control of the plateau north and east of the village but the cost to Australian forces was immense - more men were lost in the battle over a six-week period than in the whole Gallipoli Campaign. The sketch, entitled "House-to-House Fighting in Fortified Pozieres", appeared in The War Illustrated periodical in August 1916. The artist was Stanley L Wood (1866 – 1928).

Contemporary World War One illustration of a British private engaged in hand to hand combat. It depicts the soldier fighting with Germans in a shell hole on the Ypres front in Western Flanders in 1917. He has already bayoneted one of the enemy, who lies at his feet, and is attacking another while a third is in the process of fleeing. Ypres was the centre of sustained and intense battles between the Germans and Allied forces for much of the war, including the Third Battle of Ypres (July 31 - November 6 1917, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele). The illustration, by an unknown artist, appeared in The War Illustrated periodical in October 1917.

Lithograph colour print circa 1888 depicting the Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War. The battle, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, took place on September 17 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland. It was the first major engagement of the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil and the bloodiest single-day battle in American history with around 23,000 casualties. Union troops (the Army of the Potomac) were under the command of Major General George Brinton McClellan and the Confederate forces were led by General Robert Edward Lee (Army of Northern Virginia). The battle was tactically inconclusive but is often described as a strategic Union victory because it ended Lee's invasion of the North. Print by Kurz & Allison.

American Civil War photograph taken at Westover Landing, Virginia, in August 1862 of Union cavalry officers. Pictured from left to right: Lieutenant W H Brown, 5th US Cavalry; Lieutenant H H King, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry; Colonel William Woods Averell, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry; Lieutenant Phillip Pollard, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry. The picture was taken during the Peninsula Campaign - a major Union operation launched in south-eastern Virginia in March 1862 and the first large scale offensive in the Eastern Theater of war. It aimed to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond by circumventing the Confederate Army in Northern Virginia but ended in a defeat for the Union. The photo by Alexander Gardner (1821 – 1882) is also notable in hindsight because of the presence of Colonel Averell (sitting). Averell (1832 - 1900), who rose to the rank of brevet Major General, became a diplomat after the war ended and subsequently became famous and wealthy by inventing American asphalt pavement.
