  • 05 July 2022.  Paris, France.<br />
At home with Helen Wilson (56 yrs), a survivor of the Bataclan nightclub massacre of November 13th 2015 which claimed the lives of 90 people inside the club, 130 in total with co-ordinated attacks across Paris. Helen holds a photograph of her former boyfriend Nick Alexander, the only British citizen killed in the attacks. <br />
<br />
Helen, an American living in Paris went to see the music of American rock band Eagles of Death Metal at the Bataclan nightclub with her former British boyfriend Nick Alexander. Soon after the shooting started, a Frenchman near where they were lying on the floor taking cover started shouting obscenities at the attackers. Helen describes how 2 terrorists came over to the area near where Helen and Nick were lying on the floor. One of the attackers raised his kalashnikov and opened fire. Nick was shot in the stomach and Helen was shot twice, once in each thigh. Helen raised her hands and begged the shooter to stop, which she says he did, then he calmly walked away. Nick's injuries however proved to be fatal and he died in her arms before police could rescue them. Nick Alexander was the only British victim of the horrific attacks. Helen miraculously survived despite losing 4 pints of blood and was saved by paramedics after police stormed the building. Helen's story is one of unimaginable tragedy, of strength, courage under fire, resilience and survival. Helen still receives counselling and physical therapy to help cope with the continuing aftermath of the attack. She is an inspiration to many she talks to as she speaks to other trauma survivors and disaffected youth.   <br />

  • 08 November 2020. Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial, The Somme, Picardy, France. Remembrance Sunday.<br />
The Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial is dedicated to the commemoration of Dominion of Newfoundland forces members who were killed during World War I. The 74-acre (300,000 m2) preserved battlefield park encompasses the grounds over which the Newfoundland Regiment made their unsuccessful attack on 1 July 1916 during the first day of the Battle of the Somme.<br />
The Battle of the Somme was the regiment's first major engagement, and during an assault that lasted approximately 30 minutes the regiment was all but wiped out. Purchased in 1921 by the people of Newfoundland, the memorial site is the largest battalion memorial on the Western Front, and the largest area of the Somme battlefield that has been preserved. Along with preserved trench lines, there are a number of memorials and cemeteries contained within the site. Opened by British Field Marshal Earl Haig in 1925, the memorial site is one of only two National Historic Sites of Canada located outside of Canada.<br />
The site also contains a number of memorials as well as four cemeteries maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission; that of Y Ravine Cemetery, Hawthorn Ridge Cemeteries No. 1 and No. 2 and the mass burial site of Hunter's Cemetery.<br />

  • 30 June 2020. South of Calais, France.<br />
Smuggler's Paradise. Interior of a seemingly deserted shack hidden in the sand dunes of a beach south of Calais where local police claim migrants often attempt the treacherous crossing to Great Britain. The shack appear to have been recently used and contains 2 steel framed beds and another bed with a stinking mattress. The location is reasonably remote and backs onto farmland. A gravel access road makes this a prime location for ruthless criminal gangs to drop migrants paying as much as €5,000 for a ticket on an inflatable dinghy with a small outboard motor and less for surfboards and inflatable kayaks. Local police claim it is from here and other beaches in the region that migrants often set out to make desperate and dangerous attempts to cross one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Migrants are crossing the English Channel (La Manche) by boat, kayak, surf board and even inflatable paddling pools as numbers seeking asylum in the UK continue to rise. <br />

'See you in UK!' Graffiti painted on a train signalling control box close to Zone des Dunes refugee camp in Calais. Several tented refugee camps have cropped up to replace the notorious 'Jungle' camp which was dismantled by French authorities in October and November 2016. Migrants assembling in the Zone are making often desperate attempts to cross the English Channel (La Manche) by boat, surf board and even inflatable paddling pools as numbers seeking asylum in the UK continue to rise. <br />

<br />
A small number of Afghans who fled Afghanistan fearing the return of the Taliban have steadily been trickling into the camps in Calais and Dunkerque where they join migrant refugees from all over Africa, Iranian and Iraqi Kurds and other other Asian and middle eastern countries. <br />
<br />
French police have ramped up their efforts to make Calais as hostile as possible to migrants, often raiding makeshift camps and taking all tents and migrant possessions. This forces many migrants to live in swampy inhospitable terrain spread around the town. It is a miserable existence for most with insect bites and infestations a common ailment presented at makeshift medical clinics. <br />
<br />
Aid agencies working in and around Calais and Dunkerque are expecting a steady rise in the number of Afghans arriving there over the coming weeks as those fleeing the Taliban emerge in Europe.<br />

The Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial is dedicated to the commemoration of Dominion of Newfoundland forces members who were killed during World War I. The 74-acre (300,000 m2) preserved battlefield park encompasses the grounds over which the Newfoundland Regiment made their unsuccessful attack on 1 July 1916 during the first day of the Battle of the Somme.<br />
The Battle of the Somme was the regiment's first major engagement, and during an assault that lasted approximately 30 minutes the regiment was all but wiped out. Purchased in 1921 by the people of Newfoundland, the memorial site is the largest battalion memorial on the Western Front, and the largest area of the Somme battlefield that has been preserved. Along with preserved trench lines, there are a number of memorials and cemeteries contained within the site. Opened by British Field Marshal Earl Haig in 1925, the memorial site is one of only two National Historic Sites of Canada located outside of Canada.<br />
The site also contains a number of memorials as well as four cemeteries maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission; that of Y Ravine Cemetery, Hawthorn Ridge Cemeteries No. 1 and No. 2 and the mass burial site of Hunter's Cemetery.<br />

Smugglers' Paradise. Deserted shacks and a deserted caravan are hidden in the sand dunes of a remote beach south of Calais where local police claim migrants often attempt the treacherous crossing to Great Britain. Items found in a shack and caravan including passport photos, empty water bottles, mattresses and cardboard used as bedding clearly indicate the seemingly derelict premises have recently been used. The location is reasonably remote and backs onto farmland. A gravel access road makes this a prime location for ruthless criminal gangs to drop migrants paying as much as €5,000 for a ticket on an inflatable dinghy with a small outboard motor and less for surfboards and inflatable kayaks. Local police claim it is from here and other beaches in the region that migrants often set out to make desperate and dangerous attempts to cross one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Migrants are crossing the English Channel (La Manche) by boat, kayak, surf board and even inflatable paddling pools as numbers seeking asylum in the UK continue to rise. <br />

Collect Photo from VCSM Escaut rescue craft (French Coastguard) between Calais and Dover, France.<br />
<br />
A spokesman for France’s Channel Prefecture said the photo was shot on Wednesday June 10, three miles off Calais.<br />
<br />
‘Three men and a woman were attempting to paddle across the channel on two windsurf boards that had been tied together with rope,’ adding: ‘Shovels were being used as oars.’<br />
<br />
A Mayday was put out by a Dunkirk Seaways ferry after the group was spotted at 6.35am, in a relatively calm sea. <br />
<br />
The VCSM Escaut rescue craft attended the scene, and rescued the migrants, who were all suffering from mild hypothermia. <br />
<br />
The group was returned to France, and later ‘processed’ by Border Police, who could provide no further details of what happened to them.<br />
<br />
The Prefecture spokesman said migrants were increasingly using makeshift crafts because of the difficulty of getting hold of motorboats.<br />
<br />
So far in June, 250 migrants have reached Britain by boat - including a record single-day figure of 166.<br />

Ruthless Albanian gangs running migrant camps allegedly provide kayaks, surf boards and even paddling pools which desperate migrants pay way over the top prices to the smugglers for in their often desperate and dangerous attempts to cross the English Channel (La Manche) as they   seek to make better lives for themselves in Britain.<br />

The Zone des Dunes refugee camp in Calais. Several tented refugee camps have cropped up to replace the notorious 'Jungle' camp which was dismantled by French authorities in October and November 2016. The Zone borders land where the Jungle once housed as many as 10,000 migrants desperately seeking any way possible to get to Britain. It is claimed that the Zone is controlled by Albanian criminal gangs exploiting migrants often paying as much as €5,000 to make the illegal crossing between France and Britain. Many migrants are now making desperate and dangerous attempts to cross the English Channel (La Manche) by boat, kayak, surf board and even inflatable paddling pools as numbers seeking asylum in the UK continue to rise. <br />

A young refugee mother sits at the side of the road with her young 2 year old son close to the tented refugee camp at Zone des Dunes in Calais, a relatively new refugee camp which sprang up just outside the notorious 'Jungle' camp which was closed down by authorities. The mother who did not wish to be named is a refugee from war torn Eritrea. She made her way overland from Eritrea to Sudan and from Sudan through what she described as extremely dangerous Libya. From Libya she was able to get on a boat to Italy where she then boarded a train to Austria and eventually Germany where her son was born. The young mother claimed conditions in Germany were atrocious and she left for France where she has lived in the refugee camp at Calais for almost 6 months. Her dream is to find safety and sanctuary for herself and her little boy in the United Kingdom. <br />
