The final two images of the Sir Don McCullin pictures I will use for this assignment. The first is of the destruction caused by the Islamic State (ISIS) to the Roman theatre in the city of Palmyra in Syria. McCullin travelled to Syria with Dan Cruickshank to film the destruction that ISIL had caused during their occupation of Syria to show the world the true realities of this barbaric regime had caused.
The bottom image is from the Somme, Mccullin was asked by the post office to create a commemorative picture for the First World war.
