My video of the poem "Tommy" by Rudyard Kipling, using original footage of Great War "Shell Shock" victims c.1917/18. My intention with this video is to show the way that heroes are sometimes treated and how a fickle society chooses when to "wheel them out" (sometimes literally) for praise when it suits as opposed to giving them the recognition and respect they deserve in everyday life.
