P.S. Here's a thought- The Imperial Wargraves Commission was renamed The Commonwealth Wargraves Commission at the end of empire, I wonder why the Imperial War Museum retained the title "Imperial"?

|post ={{Quote-with-box|user=plbramham|quote=Not sure if the IWM has fully reopened yet? - It was having a major refurbishment for the WW1 centenary exhibition last time I was there.
I will repeat what I said in a previous posting. If in London, you must go to the National Army Museum in Chelsea (almost "next door" to the Chelsea pensioners hospital - "hospital" being the old term for a home/refuge/sanctuary - not a medical reference).
The NAM is a really,really superb museum!

I haven't checked on any progress of the IWM's refurbishment but I am looking forward to my next visit, whenever that will be.
Like yourself Paul, I also think the NAM is a superb museum and I very much enjoyed the time I last perused the exhibitions there, which unfortunately was a few years ago now so I guess I am definitely due for another visit.

|post =Regarding your Cabinet War Rooms photos, they look better quality than the ones I took with the Panasonic Lumix. I am currently uploading them to my Mac and I'll add some to the gallery.

|post =Just uploaded some photos in the gallery of the Cabinet War Rooms.
Some are a little grainy and orange in hue (like this one below) due to the low-level available light and not always using the flash.
