My first thoughts for an image are with the Boer War memorial, at the top of park st. Although I like the computer game angle, there isn't really any for the Boer War :/
But is interesting as a link between older troop and calvary style warfare to a more modern warfare - where the media (in this case newspapers) were involved and literacy was common.
Great easy on this war and the media here -

At the moment I think I just need to produce a couple of images, so I should go for simple and and easy target like WWI & II.
The central memorial of both wars with the vertical sword maybe - I just need to find a way for it to interact with a projected image.
There are alot more distictive perspectives of war in media - films are probably the most distinct, but I feel this is going in a direction I don't want it to. For now I'm going to research the places I'm looking at in Bristol in order to grasp something to use.
