Starting the Days War - The Gudeli Track: A Stirring Equestrian Portrayal of the Surrey Yeomanry on the Struma Valley Front during World War I, 1917-1918 In this evocative and powerful image, British artist Frank Algernon Stewart captures the raw energy and determination of the Surrey Yeomanry as they embark on another day of combat along the Gudeli Track in Salonika, Macedonia, during the First World War. Dated between 1917 and 1918, this painting offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and experiences of the horse-mounted cavalry regiments during their service on the Struma Valley Front. The Surrey Yeomanry, a part of the British Army's Territorial Force, played a crucial role in the Salonika Campaign, which aimed to support the Allied forces against the Central Powers in the Balkans. The rugged terrain of the Gudeli Track presented both challenges and opportunities for the horsemen, who relied on their mounts' strength and agility to navigate the steep, winding paths. In this painting, Stewart masterfully conveys the sense of anticipation and readiness as the soldiers prepare for the day's advance. The horses, their coats glistening with sweat and their eyes wide with focus, stand poised and obedient, their riders clad in heavy uniforms and helmets, their faces set with determination. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw the viewer into the scene, immersing them in the intense atmosphere of the battlefield. This striking work of art, created by Frank Algernon Stewart, serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience displayed by the soldiers of the Surrey Yeomanry and other cavalry regiments during their service on the Struma Valley Front. Through its evocative depiction of the daily struggles and triumphs of these brave men and their horses, "Starting the Days War - The Gudeli Track" offers a compelling and enduring testament to the indomitable spirit of the First World War era.
