A battle scared Tripod searches out more pitiful humans

A fifth machine appeared.  It raised itself to full height, flourished the
funnel high in the air and the ghostly terrible heat ray struck the town.

A nervous Heliograph crew signal the approach of the Martians

Another 6 inch 120lb Howitzer on
ground platform protects the only road
that leads to safety

Bows and Arrows against the lightning,
they haven't seen the heat ray yet

British regular infantry cower in their trenches expecting the worst.

For three days I fought my way along roads
packed with refugees, the homeless burdened with
boxes and bundles containing their valuables.

Invisibly hurtling towards us came the first of the
missiles that were to bring so much calamity to earth

Maxim Guns and Field artillery
 await the Martian onslaught

Quickly one after the other four of the fighting machines appeared, monstrous tripods higher than the tallest steeple,striding over the pine trees and smashing them,  walking engines of glittering metal

The Tripods emerge form the woods

The Martian Flying Machine hovers like a
kestral searching out fresh prey

The Martians release their black smoke

The six guns that were at the scene fired simultaneously decapitating a fighting machine.
The Martian inside the hood was slain, splashed to the four winds.

Those lucky enough to survive the heat ray
are brought back for medical treatment
