EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a tent for a picket post, situated on the picturesque White Horse Hill in Chislehurst, Kent during the First World War. The tent, with its worn and weathered appearance, stands guard over the rolling hills and verdant landscape, a testament to the soldiers who manned the post day and night. The tent belongs to 21017 Private P.J. Hill of D Company, 20th Battalion, The County of London Regiment. A dedicated artist before the war, Private Hill studied at the prestigious Lambeth School of Art, located at St. Oswalds Place, Upper Kennington Lane in London. In the peaceful years before the conflict, he resided at 6 Amott Road in Peckham Rye. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the Great War, as they carried out their duties in the beautiful yet unforgiving English countryside. The presence of the White Horse Hill, with its iconic white chalk figure, adds a sense of history and tradition to the scene. This topographical painting is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Private Hill during the First World War. It is a powerful and moving image that speaks to the human spirit and the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a moment in time.
