This is now. We must not forget

As we move towards Remembrance Sunday we carry an incredible set of photos taken by Bryan Adams – the Canadian rocker turned photographer. Over the last couple of years Adams has photographed men and women who were injured in conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. The photos are incredible, as are the stories of what happened and plans to rebuild lives. They will give you pause.

Alongside this, we look at some projects that are helping lift ex-servicemen out of homelessness – including a great building scheme that teaches new skills and very practically deals with the housing stock crisis. And we cast an eye over the website that is offering you a chance to buy some things that the military don’t want to ship back from Camp Bastion. It’s a curious clearance sale.
