Description
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behindIn some loyal heart is your memory enshrined?
And, though you died back in 1916,
To that loyal heart are you forever 19?
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
Forever enshrined behind some glass pane,
In an old photograph, torn and tattered and stained,
And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame? -Eric Bogle

Thank you so much, that's such a nice compliment to hear. When I started work on these I hoped to create an installation of these faces fading from memory, and although I only managed to finish a few I'm glad you found them emotive, and I managed to get across my point.
