EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating litho print titled "Private Fitch driving a transport cart after the driver had been shot" by Howard K. Elcock captures a moment of extraordinary heroism during the Great War. Set on the Western Front, this powerful image showcases Private W. R. Fitch, a member of the Royal Army Medical Corps, fearlessly taking charge of a horse-drawn cart after its driver was struck down in battle. In this heart-stopping scene from April 26th, 1915, amidst the chaos and danger of trench warfare, Private Fitch emerges as an emblematic figure of courage and selflessness. With bullets whizzing past him and shells exploding nearby, he bravely takes hold of the reins to ensure that vital supplies reach their destination. This depiction not only pays tribute to Private Fitch's distinguished conduct but also serves as a testament to all soldiers who exhibited unwavering bravery in the face of adversity during World War I. The artist's attention to detail brings forth every nuance: from the intensity etched onto Private Fitch's face to the determination conveyed through his firm grip on those reins. Through this litho print, we are transported back in time to witness one soldier's remarkable act amidst countless acts of valor on blood-soaked battlefields. It is an homage not only to those who fought alongside horses but also highlights their crucial role in supporting troops throughout history.
