    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.

    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”. )
