Jack Turner's
War "The experience of the 1914-1918 Great
War left a lasting mark on the youth of Canada. The photographs taken by Jack
Turner provide a startling reminder that that this was a very different
experience than that of today's youth. It was a shared experience, as shown by
the pictures of friends from home in a strange and disturbing landscape but is
also a lonely one with photographs showing devastation, destruction and death -
and everywhere there was mud."
