Through my Non Profit Heroes in Focus, Rory Lewis is dedicated to preserving the faces and stories of those whose courage defines our shared history. It was an honour to have captured the portrait of Mike Pratt, GC, whose bravery and humility stand among the finest examples of service.
Margaret Purves GC, a British nurse, displayed extraordinary bravery at the tender age of 14, saving lives and earning the Albert Medal. In recognition of her gallantry, she later exchanged the award for the esteemed George Cross. Photographer Rory Lewis immortalized her remarkable story through a captivating portrait acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in 2016.
