EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of an ammunition column passing through the historic town of Ypres in Belgium during the First World War, in 1917. The scene is depicted by Captain Gilbert Holiday, a talented artist who spent his early life in St. John's Wood, London. From his window, he was able to observe the Royal Horse Artillery, marking his first encounter with horses. Holiday received his education at Westminster School and later studied at the Royal Academy Schools. Prior to the war, he worked as an illustrator for renowned publications such as The Graphic, The Tatler, and The Illustrated London News. As the war broke out, Holiday enlisted in the Royal Field Artillery and was deployed to the Western Front. His experiences during this time inspired him to paint many pictures for army messes, capturing the raw emotion and realities of the battlefield. In this photograph, we see a long line of horses and wagons laden with ammunition, making their way through the muddy streets of Ypres. The soldiers in the background are focused on their task, their expressions a mix of determination and apprehension. The scene is a poignant reminder of the logistical efforts required to sustain the troops during the war. Captain Holiday's unique perspective as both an artist and a soldier allowed him to create a visual record of the First World War that continues to captivate audiences today. This photograph, with its intricate details and powerful narrative, is a testament to his artistic talent and his unwavering dedication to documenting the events of the war.
