The image displays a museum exhibit housed within a glass display case, viewed from an angle. The overall photograph is rotated approximately 90 degrees counter-clockwise. The exhibit features a large, dark-toned background panel. A prominent portrait of a man with a short beard, wearing a suit and light-colored tie, is depicted on the left side of the panel (when viewed upright). To the man's upper left, a set of military medals on a ribbon bar is displayed. To the right of his head, a small, gold-colored circular badge is presented in a black case, identified by small text as a "Combat Team Delia badge, worn on deployment during the VC action." The right side of the panel is covered with text providing historical context and a personal reflection. The main title reads: "A CENTURY BETWEEN THEM." The text details the service of Private Paddy Bugden, the first Australian Queensland-enlisted serviceman awarded the Victoria Cross (VC), and Corporal Dan Keighran (RAR Afghanistan), who received the VC in 2012 for gallantry in Uruzgan province, Afghanistan. It notes that Corporal Keighran visited Bugden's grave in Belgium in 2017, highlighting their shared courage across a century and different wars. A quote from Dan Keighran in 2018 states: "Standing in front of Paddy's grave I felt great sadness at the cost of war and the remarkable people that gave so much for our tomorrow." Reflections from overhead lighting are visible on the glass case, obscuring some parts of the text and the upper right of the display. The scene is an indoor setting, likely a museum or memorial in South Brisbane, Australia.
