After about three seconds the camera does a half-second slow cross-dissolve to a sepia-toned 1940s photograph of a young soldier in army uniform in front of a barracks, captioned 'SGT. W. ELLIS, 1944', and a slow Ken Burns push moves into his face while the elderly man's voice continues in voiceover. A second cross-dissolve returns to the medium of him in the armchair as he smiles faintly, then a third cross-dissolve at eight seconds moves to a black-and-white photograph of a small wedding party on the steps of a stone church, with the camera panning gently right across the bride in a tea-length white dress and the groom shyly smiling in uniform." }
