An extraordinary and haunting series of 80 portraits of World War One soldiers from NSW, selected from the State Library’s photographic collection, is on show in a free display at the Sir Earle Page Library and Education Centre until November 25. The exhibition includes the portrait of Alfred Duroux, a Clarence Valley volunteer, whose descendants still reside in the Clarence Valley. Produced as part of the State Library’s WWI Centenary Regional Program, Portraits of War: The Crown Studios Project travelling display reveals the fascinating story behind the creation of the portraits and delivers a moving experience that bears witness to the individual faces of Australian soldiers, young and old, who served their country. If Clarence Valley residents discover a family member on the State Library’s New South Wales Servicemen Portraits set, the library will provide a digital file of the portrait free of charge.
