A daylight raiding party of 9th Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) waits for the signal to go over the top near Arras, March 27, 1917: 'You can sense the tension in the face looking back and feel it in the body language of the others as they prepare to go over the top,' says Mr McCullin. 'It's an extraordinary photograph, a very close shot'

An abandoned trench destroyed by shellfire, Delville Wood near Longueval, Somme, September, 1916: 'Look at this lunar landscape, absolutely destroyed and broken, it looks as if nothing would ever grow again,' says Mr McCullin. 'The only battle I was in that was similarly devastating was the Tet offensive in 1968. The Americans were shelling the city of Hue from offshore, using Phantom fixed-wing planes to dive-bomb and drop napalm. By the time they had finished Hue was totally flattened, destroyed'

1st Middlesex Regiment troops under shrapnel fire, Battle of Marne, Signy-Signets, September 8, 1914: 'There are lots of pictures from the beginning of the war and it is easy to make it glamorous if you want to; to step aside from your moral obligations. But not this picture. This is spontaneous, the real thing. You can tell by the way people are reacting to the bursting shrapnel. When a shell comes in you don't think about other people, you get down. It's about survival'

British soldiers queue for treatment after being blinded by mustard gas at the Battle of Estaires, Bethune, April 10, 1918: 'This heartbreaking image blows me away. Hundreds of young men will live in darkness for the rest of their lives all because of their loyalty and their commitment to their country. Being disabled is bad enough but blindness is the ultimate crucifixion. And look at the composition of the photograph. They are a chain, linked by darkness'

Troops wounded during fighting for Bazentin Ridge walk to a dressing station, Bernafay Wood, Somme, July 19, 1916: 'Walking toward you with arms interlocked these men look like they are on a Sunday stroll, but their injuries show the price of war. I always approached the wounded carefully as I was imposing on a moment of pain and fear. The very first day of the Tet offensive in 1968 I saw an American marine who had been hit in the face by two bullets. There was a big bandage around his face and when I brought my camera up he pleaded with his eyes for me not to do it. He couldn't shake his head. But his eyes said, "Please, no." I got the message, I walked away'

Royal Irish rifles rest in a communication trench during the opening hours of battle, Somme, July 1, 1916: 'There aren't many photos of people smiling on the Western Front. This feels like a rare stand-down moment of casual calmness in the war, perhaps away from the Front. Sometimes in Vietnam I'd look to the soldier standing next to me and smile because I didn't want him to see that I was terrified. The smile is the gesture that deflects the blow of your own fear. It's a false smile. But would you smile in a place like that? Knee-deep in mud and and rats eating you at night? There's nothing to smile about'
