St Bartholomew (the great), one of the oldest churches in London (1123)
In Smithfield. See next picture for a detailed (gruesome) explanation of the laconic 'put to death'.
No comment.
16th Century portrait bust of 49th Grand Master of the Order of Malta Jean de la Valette (1495?-1568),
Museum of the Order of St John (Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, founded in 1099). Valette led Malta to victory during the Great Siege of 1565. He is honoured in the name of the island's capital, Valetta (only capital city to be named after a person, if I'm not mistaken).
Maltese cross, symbol of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller (or Knights of Malta
because they moved there in 1530)
A WWI soldier posted this ration biscuit back home to his wife as a prank (he wanted to show her how hard those were). He wrote on the back of it that he tried to hit one of them biscuits on the sharp corner of a brick wall, in order to break it into pieces, but ended up bruising his hand.
Who said Britons didn't have any sense of humour?
