Excerpt
People often imagine war as fierce fighting and terrible death. However, there is another side of war just as horrid. It involves those left behind when a man or woman is called to battle. The focus of war is usually on the soldier and the battle on the field. He or she wages a much greater struggle, however, with the pain and torment of leaving family behind. They, too, fight a terrible battle with the departure of a husband or wife, father or mother, brother or sister who may never come back. One photograph captures this battle and forces the viewer to see human suffering that is just as real and painful as a typical battle fought on the field.
