City of Westminster Environmental Health officer Steve Neville (R) portrays a rifleman in the Kings Royal Rifle Corps with the Rifles Living History Society as he recreates the life of a First World War soldier at the Colchester Military Tournament in Colchester, eastern England July 5, 2014. Steve was already a re-enactor of the Napoleonic Wars but decided to move forward in time and concentrate on the First World War, primarily because he had four ancestors who fought in the war. His great-grandfather Patrick Driscoll was killed in the battle of Cambrai, and a great uncle was injured in the Battle of the Somme but survived. His main enjoyment in participating in the re-enactments are “the bangs and smoke”. (Photo by Luke MacGregor/Reuters)
