Tracing letters sent from the front line through the War Office to back home, Facing World War One: Stories of loyalty, loss and love captures the poignant voices of the family and loved ones of enlisted soldiers. From the touching account of a hopeful mother in search for news of her missing son, to a wife’s plea to have her husband return home, this film work tells a story of real relationships shaken by the trials of war.
A filmic presentation by Facing Australia originally commissioned by the Museum of Brisbane in 2015 as a commemorative WW1 project. The project received funding support from the Australian Government under the Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program.
