Photographer Glyn Dewis says his 3945 Portraits project is the realization of everything he's achieved in his career to date. He started the project earlier this year to honor and remember surviving British veterans of the Second World War, by photographing as many of them as possible and providing both them and their families with classic, timeless portraits. 

As Glyn puts it: “I want children to learn what these great people did, and the sacrifices they made, so that it’s never forgotten and – as so many veterans say to me – that it never happens again.”
