EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful watercolour painting depicts a billet at Oakwood, dated January 20, 1916. The scene shows soldiers of the 20th Battalion, The County of London Regiment, taking a break during their military training. One soldier is seen in the foreground, intently focused on his pipe as he takes a pensive drag. The reverse of the painting reveals a detailed pencil study of the same soldier, adding depth and intrigue to the artwork. The soldier is identified as 21017 Private P.J. Hill, a member of D Company within the battalion. The painting was created by an artist who studied at the prestigious Lambeth School of Art, located at St. Oswalds Place, Upper Kennington Lane. Private Hill's residence in 1895 was recorded as 6 Amott Road, Peckham Rye, London. This painting offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during World War I, providing a topographical and historical record of a bygone era. The use of watercolour adds a soft, ethereal quality to the scene, capturing the essence of a moment in time. The painting is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for rights-managed licensing through Mary Evans Prints Online. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the experiences of soldiers during the First Great War and the rich history of military regiments.
