No More War & Peace
A parade of military Land Rovers, including a Snatch, wait to go into the arena at the 2019 War and Peace Revival
ANDREW STONE
As luck
would have it, just
a few hours after we went
to press with our May 2023
issue it was announced on
The War & Peace Show
website that the event had
been “cancelled for the
foreseeable future” due
to “events beyond our
control”. The May issue
contained our annual
military vehicle event guide,
although fortunately we had
warned readers that War &
Peace was unlikely to go
ahead this year.
News of the cancellation
was greeted with anger and
sorrow in equal measure
across social media – anger
that such an important
event on the military vehicle
show calendar had been
allowed to collapse and
sorrow because we’re
unlikely to ever see the
likes War & Peace again.
For years it was THE show
to attend, attracting tens
of thousands of visitors
and military vehicles from
around the world.
I don’t ever see it making
a comeback, at least
not on the scale it was
previously. However, as
the saying goes, “One
man's misfortune is
another man's opportunity”
and we’ve already seen
Capel Military Show in
the south and Yorkshire
Wartime Experience in the
north benefit, along with
a plethora of supporting
events too. So, despite the
demise of The War & Peace
Show, there’s still plenty to
do and see this year.
Turning our attention to this
month’s issue, we’ve an
interesting mix of stories
led by an article about the
former British Army Snatch
Land Rover now being
used in Ukraine. We had
heard that these and other
armoured vehicles were
being sent to Ukraine but
were unable to find and
feature an individual vehicle
until we came across
the remarkable story of
Svitlana Iniakoziene who
raised enough money to
buy a Snatch Land Rover
and then got it sent to her
brother’s unit on the front
line. For more details, see
pages 6-10.
Enjoy the read and, as
always, your feedback is
appreciated.
