War artists in Afghanistan and Iraq

I've just found two slide shows on the BBC web site showing work by two British war artists in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Arabella Dorman - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8044225.stm

Even without considering the circumstances in which this work was done, they would be excellent, but the context makes them even more important. To see why look at the portrait about 55 secs into Arabella Dorman's slide show.
