Once Upon a Time in War is a photographic retrospect of the Great War, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam and the War on Terror.

I'm Lux, a twenty-something uni student studying modern warfare to become a museum archivist. I spend too much time playing World at War, and I have a dog named Loki von Bismarck.
