The Old Matelot

Description

This old salt had seen service in the Royal Navy during WW2, and received the DSM, along with 8 other medals.
The last time I saw him, he was taking part in the funeral of Harry Patch, in August 2009, and he was marching with his comrades.
Now he gets about with the help of a walker.

Nice capture!  The expression is evocative and the values are all nicely on scale.
