Description

Group portrait. Back: Sharon Bown, Damien Thomlinson, Talissa Papamau, Michael Lyddiard. Front: Curtis McGrath, Dane Christison

This is one in a series of photographs titled "Walking under the stars" by Peter Brew-Bevan. The series highlights a group of modern veterans, both men and women who, despite wounds, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other challenges, have become role models. Whether physically or psychologically wounded (or, in most instances, both), they have overcome numerous obstacles, and through their work and achievements are a source of hope and inspiration for the veteran community and the wider public.
