EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative reproduction of a painting by Sir William Orpen captures Major General Sir Hugh Jamieson Elles, a British military leader of great distinction during the First World War. Elles is depicted here in his full military regalia, standing resolutely against the backdrop of the French countryside. As the first commander of the newly formed Tank Corps in 1916, Elles played a pivotal role in the development and deployment of this revolutionary new weapon in the war effort. Born in 1880, Elles began his military career as a cavalry officer, but his innovative thinking and adaptability saw him quickly rise through the ranks. His appointment as commander of the Tank Corps came at a critical moment in the war, and under his leadership, these armored vehicles proved to be a game-changer on the battlefield. The painting captures the determination and focus in Elles' eyes, as he gazes off into the distance, no doubt contemplating the strategic advantages that the Tank Corps would bring to the Allied forces. The uniform he wears, with its intricate details and insignia, is a testament to the pride and tradition of the British Army. The painting was created between 1914 and 1918, during the height of the war, and serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and achievements of the men and women who served during this period. Elles' leadership and vision helped to turn the tide of the war, and his legacy continues to inspire military leaders to this day.
