Saying Goodbye

Oil on canvas

100 x 5.76cm

An imagined glimpse of a private moment of farewell to a loved one by an ANZAC soldier leaving to fight in the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915.

All young with their lives ahead of them.

60,000 Australians fought at Gallipoli as many as 8000 were killed and 18,000 wounded.
