Last week I learned that David Bailey's son is called Fenton, in homage to the British photographer.
Roger Fenton is probably best known for his photographs of the Crimean War of 1855, of which there are said to be over 350. It was the first time that the British public were kept a brief of battles on foreign terrain and Fenton's photographs depict stoic soldiers and tidy camps, in an attempt to buffer negative response to the war.
