At the Battle of Hastings, soldiers' choice of weaponary was extensive.<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151619.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1244 mounted knight, Siege of JerusalemRe-enactment groups, collectors, historians and serving soldiers helped photographer Thom Atkinson assemble the components for each shot. ‘It was hard to track down knowledgeable people with the correct equipment,’ he says. ‘The pictures are really the product of their knowledge and experience.’<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151655.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1415 fighting archer, Battle of AgincourtHaving worked on projects with the Wellcome Trust and the Natural History Museum, photographer Thom Atkinson has turned his focus to what he describes as ‘the mythology surrounding Britain’s relationship with war’.<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151718.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1485 Yorkist man-at-arms, Battle of Bosworth‘There’s a spoon in every picture,’ Atkinson says. ‘I think that’s wonderful. The requirement of food, and the experience of eating, hasn’t changed in 1,000 years. It’s the same with warmth, water, protection, entertainment.’<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151736.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1588 trainband caliverman, TilburyThe similarities between the kits are as startling as the differences. Notepads become iPads, 18th-century bowls mirror modern mess tins; games such as chess or cards appear regularly.<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151817.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1645 New Model Army musketeer, Battle of NasebyEach kit represents the personal equipment carried by a notional common British soldier at a landmark battle over the past millennium. It is a sequence punctuated by Bosworth, Naseby, Waterloo, the Somme, Arnhem and the Malvinas – bookended by the Battle of Hastings and Helmand Province.<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151836.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1709 private sentinel, Battle of MalplaquetAtkinson says the project, which took him nine months, was an education. ‘I’ve never been a soldier. It’s difficult to look in on a subject like this and completely understand it. I wanted it to be about people. Watching everything unfold, I begin to feel that we really are the same creatures with the same fundamental needs.’<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151855.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1815 private soldier, Battle of WaterlooKit issued to soldiers fighting in the Battle of Waterloo included a pewter tankard and a draughts set.<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151917.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1854 private soldier, Rifle Brigade, Battle of AlmaEach picture depicts the bandages, bayonets and bullets of survival, and the hooks on which humanity hangs: letter paper, prayer books and Bibles.<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151941.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1916 private soldier, Battle of the SommeWhile the First World War was the first modern war, as the Somme kit illustrates, it was also primitive. Along with his gas mask a private would be issued with a spiked ‘trench club’ – almost identical to medieval weapons.<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803151958.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />1944 lance corporal, Parachute Brigade, Battle of ArnhemEach photograph shows a soldier’s world condensed into a pared-down manifest of defences, provisions and distractions. There is the formal (as issued by the quartermaster and armourer) and the personal (timepieces, crucifixes, combs and shaving brushes).<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803152024.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />2014 close-support sapper, Royal Engineers, Helmland ProvinceThe evolution of technology that emerges from the series is a process that has accelerated over the past century. The pocket watch of 1916 is today a waterproof digital wristwatch; the bolt-action Lee-Enfield rifle has been replaced by laser-sighted light assault carbines; and lightweight camouflage Kevlar vests take the place of khaki woollen Pattern service tunics.<img src="http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_article/a_744_20140803152056.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
