This is a close up of the young boy's face in THIS photo. His eyes look so sad.
There are approx 500 Civic Memorials memorials to the Great War in NZ - it had a big impact on New Zealand society. Ten percent of the then population of one million served overseas, of which more than 18,000 died and over 40,000 were wounded. Nearly every New Zealand family was affected.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Let's never forget that these heroes were fighting for our freedom too!

Touching series, Lyn!

He does look sad...and bewildered...as we all should when pondering the horrors of war...and we should never forget those who sacrificed so much for us...marvelous closeup and shot, Lyn.
