The Wounded
June 12, 2025 – September 21, 2025
Exhibition Details
Photojournalist Stephen J. Thorne’s striking black-and-white portraits of 18 Canadian veterans of the war in Afghanistan illustrate stories of loss, rehabilitation and hope. Some of the featured men and women knew instantly that their lives would be forever changed, while others realized it only long after the fact.
All carry scars — some visible, others invisible. This moving exhibition takes an unflinching look at the struggles and hopes of Canadian veterans wounded during military service.
Sixteen of the portraits were previously presented as part of a 2017 series published by Legion Magazine.
An exhibition developed by the Canadian War Museum in partnership with Legion Magazine. Photography and stories by Stephen J. Thorne.
