    Stunning portrait. It’s like being in two places at one time. His environment says one thing and the touching expression on his face says something completely different. It’s beautiful.

    It’s sad that he must be thousands of miles from home, in a dangerous land and missing his family. I thank him and all other military personnel for the sacrifices they make..may you all return safely to your families.

    Moving…. I hope my Husband had this look on his face when he went away….. it puts a tear in my eye.

    ( to further explain ANZAC … the original ANZACS were WW1, but we Aussies now tend to affectionately refer to all our soldiers as ANZACS or “Diggers”. )
