EDITORS COMMENTS
Going into Action: The Barraged Road on Blaga Planina" is a powerful and evocative wartime painting by renowned British artist Frank Algernon Stewart, depicting the Surrey Yeomanry regiment advancing into battle on the Struma Valley Front during the Salonika Campaign of World War I. Dated between 1917 and 1918, this topographical masterpiece captures the raw energy and determination of the horse-mounted cavalry as they charge forward, their horses' hooves kicking up clouds of dust on the barraged road leading up the rugged Blaga Planina mountain range. The Surrey Yeomanry, a part of the 1st Great War Military Force, played a significant role in the Salonika Campaign, which took place on the Eastern Front of the war. The campaign, also known as the Macedonian Front, was a complex and challenging theater of war, marked by difficult terrain, harsh weather conditions, and prolonged stalemate. Stewart's painting captures the essence of this challenging environment, with the soldiers and their horses silhouetted against the backdrop of the towering mountains and the billowing smoke from the artillery barrages. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail, bring the scene to life, making it a poignant reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in this often-forgotten campaign. The painting is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the spirit of history and to preserve the memories of those who lived through it. It is a powerful and moving image that continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War.
