EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image is a reproduction of a painting by R. Caton Woodville, featured in the Illustrated London News' special panorama supplement, Great War Deeds, published in 1915. The scene depicts the decisive moment in the Battle of Ypres, which took place in November 1914 during the early stages of World War I. The Prussian Guard, a formidable force of the German Army, were met with unyielding resistance from the British Army as they attempted to advance through the muddy terrain. In this chaotic skirmish, the British soldiers, armed with rifles and bayonets, displayed immense bravery and courage in their desperate struggle against the enemy. The Prussian Guard, renowned for their disciplined fighting abilities, were ultimately defeated, marking a significant victory for the Allies in the Western Front conflict. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of the heroic actions and unwavering determination of the soldiers who fought in the Great War.
