“Good God, did we really send men to fight in that?” — Douglas Haig “Presented without further comments." The pictures explain to the observer a wide variety of emotions, where one can feel the uncertainty, cold, and friendship within the darkness of war. Viewers, as with paintings, are urged to use their interpretations to find meaning within the picture, where words can fall short concerning the human reality of war. Observers will be able to relate to the human cost of war and how the human spirit prevails. The phrase “without further comment” recognizes the loss of innocence by allowing observers to somehow relate to World War One in their own way.
