British war veterans invisible to the state
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/british-war-veterans-invisible-to-the-state.htmlAt first glance, these are ordinary snapshots of everyday life in the UK. But if you look closely, you can see the veterans of the armed forces, who were made invisible with the help of a special painting technique - they merge with the background.
Photos of the four veterans were released as part of a campaign calling on the government to count ex-servicemen in the national census.

According to the Royal British Legion, a charity, Britain knows more about those who consider the Jedi their religious cult than about how many ex-military people there are in the country.
According to the statement, a more objective picture of the number of current and former soldiers, who, by some estimates, make up a tenth of the country's population, will make it possible to better provide them with direct assistance and support.
Chris Simpkins, CEO of the Royal British Legion, said: “As a nation, we pledge to provide lifelong support to those who serve our country. However, we now know more about the Jedi Knight's followers than we do about our own military community. By adding questions to the 2021 UK Census questionnaire, we can help governments and charities deliver the best possible service to our service members where it matters most.”
Four veterans were made up to match the surrounding landscape to emphasize the need to reckon with them. In addition to the photo with Parliament, in another picture one of the veterans was disguised in a library in Manchester, another in a cafe in Plymouth and another in a rugby stadium in Cardiff.
