- 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 RAC British Grand Prix on 1st October 1927.
The winner is ROBERT Benoist in a 1½-litre straight-8 Delage.
"Delange" in the body text should read Delage.
As well as being a star racing driver Benoist was also a war hero, being a secret agent for Britain and also a member of the French Resistance. Sadly he was captured in mid-1944 and murdered at Buchenwald concentration camp.
A 2012 news story about Benoit's winning car can be found here....
