EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts the Guard Room at Oakwood, Beckenham during daytime hours. The room is filled with a sense of quiet anticipation and duty, as evidenced by the stern expression of the guard on duty, 21017 Private P.J. Hill of D Company, 20th Battalion, The County of London Regiment. Private Hill, a native of Peckham Rye, London, studied at the esteemed Lambeth School of Art located at St. Oswalds Place, Upper Kennington Lane. The artistic training is evident in the meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal of the scene. During the early 20th century, the First World War loomed on the horizon, and the British military was in a state of readiness. The County of London Regiment, also known as the "London Regiment," was a part of the Territorial Force, which was established to supplement the Regular Army. The regiment's 20th Battalion was formed in 1914, and its members were drawn from the civilian population of London. This topographical painting offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers during peacetime, providing a historical record of the military preparations that took place before the outbreak of World War I. The regiment's insignia and equipment are on full display, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The painting is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the British military during this period, and it serves as an essential addition to any collection of military or historical art.
