The Walrus On Canada's Mission In Afghanistan

The Walrus has launched a remarkable online tribute to the Canadians who have fallen during the Afghanistan combat mission.

Canadian artist Joanne Tod has created a riveting portrait collection of the 157 Canadians who have died during our military mission in Afghanistan between deployment and the spring of 2011, and her portraits are online at walrusmagazine.com.

Each portrait is posted as a downloadable large-format image with a dedicated comments field, and is intended to be a lasting memorial to these brave men and women, and Canada's role in Afghanistan. The 157 portraits have also been published in their entirety for the first time in the July/August issue of The Walrus magazine.
