Over the past few months, Twin Towns has been working on a Light Show project to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armistice on 11 November 1918. It’s called 100 years, 100 faces.
An overwhelming number of photos were submitted by locals and interstate families who heard about the presentation.
There were many amazing stories too about these men and woman who served our country in a variety of capacities and theatres of war.
A big thank you to those that sent in photos and we hope you enjoy seeing your family member, friend or loved one honoured on the giant 17m x 5m screen on the exterior of the Twin Towns building.
Unfortunately, the quality of some photos submitted were determined not suitable for reproduction on such a large surface but the Twin Towns Screen Producer, Lachlan Donaldson, has gone above and beyond to ensure as many as possible were included.
Some photos feature multiple faces, siblings who headed to war as a family, battalions and two photos of entire Light Horse Brigades.
The 100 years, 100 faces presentation will run on the building every evening for two weeks from 4 November to 18
November. There will be two presentations; one will screen at 7.10pm Qld, the other at 8.10pm Qld during this time. The order will swap for the second week as shown below.
Regardless whether you have a connection to one of the faces, seeing this light show will be a unique and touching experience for everyone who respects and admires the contributions and sacrifices made by so many great Australians.
Take the time to see these faces and say a silent thanks to each and every one of them.
Here are the names and screening times. Each image will be on the screen for approximately one minute.
