- British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
-
- The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
-
- The Duke of Edinburgh has many talents, but it is his unique way with words that often receives the most attention.

To our modern way of thinking, women having a vote is a non-issue. It's amazing that such suffering had to occur for something that should never have been an issue in the first place. Women in South Australia had the right to vote in 1894. That included indigenous women. Sadly, while white women were given the right to vote in the Australian federation in 1901, following the example of South Australia, indigenous women were excluded.
"It's amazing that such suffering had to occur for something that should never have been an issue in the first place". RCbeastly I totally agree with you. In Italy (the country I am from) women could not vote until 1945, (1944 in France), in Switzerland women were granted right to vote only in 1971! Just unbelievable.
