As a military artist, he documented the troop landings at Normandy on D-Day, and was there as Allied forces pressed on into Germany. In Portraits Of War, Colville's story is intertwined with that of another Canadian who documented the reality of World War Two: Harold Morden, a combat evacuation medic and amateur photographer whose candid pictures snapped on the fly, when the Military Police weren't watching, captured the nature of life on the front lines in ways that few civilians have ever seen. The paths of Colville and Morden would eventually cross, on one of the war's darkest days. Both men were among the few Canadians present when the Allies liberated the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and bore witness that day to evidence of unimaginable depravity. It would change them forever. Written by Anonymous See less
