Theatre For All is honoured to present a photography exhibition of British Korean Veterans’ portraits.
From eighteen-year-old boy soldier to eighty-eight years old veteran, Dear Veterans looks at the faces of British soldiers who served in the Korean War 1950-1953. This exhibition illustrates interconnected memories through not only their sacrifices for a peace in the Forgotten War but the vigour of their lives today. It displays collectively 21 of astonishing portraits, taken by a photographer Mina Son and a collection of priceless archive which has generously lent by veterans of Surrey West Branch BKVA.
John Bolwer MC as a young commander in his early 20s and John as 82years old veteran in 2015.
This exhibition presented for an accompany of a screening of the Theatre For All production's documentary films: Korean Undertaker and Not one of the Forgotten in Rose Theatre Kingston. It will be displayed on the web of Theatre For All afterwards. It was an enormously great opportunity to curate the exhibition and film because it was also a very personal appreciation to them as one of the young Koreans.
I have been very fortunate to build up a relationship with the British Korean Veterans with the documentary film crew since the first visit the Surrey West Branch at 2011. They shouldn't be forgotten. I am looking forward to attending a next monthly meeting.
