Sir Edward John Poynter (French-born British, 1836-1919) Faithful Unto Death, 1865 Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, UK During the excavations at Pompeii in the early 19th century, the skeleton of a soldier in full armour was discovered. Romantic historians of the period assumed that he had remained loyally at his post while all the other inhabitants of Pompeii were fleeing from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Candles were lit on the grave of fallen heroes on the eve of All Saints' Day in Lviv.

"Before All Saints' Day, people come to the cemetery to pray and honor the memory of their loved ones. At this time, we remember those who gave their lives for Ukraine and express gratitude for their courage and sacrifice." - said Mayor Sadovyi.

Napoleon hears an amusing anecdote about himself

Las Cases is narrating (translated):

I told him another anecdote that had amused our salons. It was said that, in some circumstance or other, a regiment having lost its Eagle, Napoleon, haranguing them with great indignation on the fact that they had had the dishonour of letting their Eagle be taken away by the enemy, a Gascon soldier had exclaimed, "But we each caught it! They only got the stick, because here is the cuckoo [slang for eagle], I had put it in my pocket," pointing to the Eagle.

The Emperor could not help laughing at this, and said: "Well! I really would not guarantee that something of the sort or similar did not in fact happen. My soldiers were very much at ease, very free with me. I often saw them tutoyer me."

Not an ask, just a heartwarming modern AU headcanon that came into my head after I submitted an ask earlier and later remembered the possible plans my folks made for later this year.

Every year around the holiday season (Thanksgiving/Christmas/whatever else people celebrate), Killer will volunteer at a local church or soup kitchen to help provide meals for the less fortunate. He'll help with cleaning up tables or washing dishes and doing whatever else is asked of him too.

The holiday season is tough for a lot of people and nobody should have to go through the stress of being hungry on top of that.

In a modern AU I think the entire crew does a lot of volunteering.

I could see Heat doing the big brother/big sister thing.

Wire does habitats for humanity.

Killer is doing soup kitchen work every weekend almost.

Kid does that thing where you go look scary in the courtroom so that children know that you have their back and they can testify bravely.

I just saw a Zoya edit use the Soldier Summoner Saint rhetoric and in summary I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again
