Stuart Griffiths will present his work on the homecoming of British soldiers, a project that began in 2000 when the photographer was living in a homeless hostel for ex-servicemen in east London. Griffiths returned to the hostel in 2003 and has continued to document the plights of soldiers, concentrating mainly on soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. This work is to be published by Trolley Books in 2008.
