EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures the fearless Captain F. O. Grenfell, VC, leading a charge of the 9th Lancers to retake captured guns near Doubon on August 24th, 1914. Published in London in 1916 as part of The War Illustrated Album de Luxe, this lithograph showcases an English soldier who would go down in history for his bravery and heroism. Captain Francis Octavius Grenfell was awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross for his actions during this battle. In the image, he can be seen at the forefront of the charge, exuding determination and courage as he leads his troops into combat. The intensity of the moment is palpable as horses gallop across a blood-soaked battlefield. This powerful depiction not only highlights Grenfell's exceptional leadership but also serves as a poignant reminder of the violence and sacrifice endured during World War I. It encapsulates both the chaos and camaraderie that defined life on the front lines. The composition skillfully combines elements of conflict with glimpses of nature's beauty - racehorses, ponies, shire horses - reminding us that even amidst war's brutality, animals played their own role in supporting soldiers' efforts. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time by Ken Welsh's expert handiwork, we are transported back to a tumultuous era where brave men like Captain F. O. Grenfell fought valiantly for their country against all odds.
