This collection contains over 100,000 images, drawn from more than 500 files across ten reference series at The National Archives (UK): FO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) 83, FO 371, FO 916; HO (Home Office) 45; LCO (Lord Chancellor’s Office) 2, LCO 53; WO (War Office) 32, WO 35, WO 71, WO 72.

The sources illuminate key trends and themes, such as broad debates on the legitimacy of declaring war, the development of policies designed to protect civilians in conflict zones, and attempts to impose conceptions of justice amid the chaos of war via courts martial. 

This collection has been tagged comprehensively by our editorial team, making it easy to search and explore.
