EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the unwavering bravery and determination of three Canadian soldiers, nicknamed 'The Three Musketeers,' from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, during the intense battles of the Western Front in 1915. The trio is depicted holding their ground on a muddy mound, surrounded by barbed wire and under relentless enemy fire. The painting, created by renowned artist Begg, was featured in the special panorama supplement 'Great War Deeds,' produced by the Illustrated London News. The supplement highlighted the heroic actions of the First World War, providing a visual record of the courage and resilience displayed by soldiers like these three Canadians. The scene portrays the harsh realities of trench warfare, with soldiers enduring heavy rain and the slick, wet conditions of the battlefield. The trio's unyielding presence on the mound, despite the constant danger, is a testament to their gallantry and their commitment to defending their country. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Great War.
