A PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibition, aiming to illustrate the sacrifices made by young soldiers in World War Two, is on display at a regimental museum.
The display, showing men aged between 18 and 24 wearing the types of uniforms their grandfathers wore during conflict, is now showing at the Green Howards Museum, Richmond.
The exhibition, called Doomed Youth, was prepared by 22-year-old Emma Poole, a student at the University of Northumbria. She was inspired by the old photographic portraits of young soldiers.
Emma borrowed uniforms from the Green Howards Museum and photographed her friends in them in modern-day settings - including a pub, a take-away restaurant and an Internet caf.
The colour portraits, each framed in dark wood, are backed up by quotations from famous war poets Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. The exhibition runs until November 30.
