EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant and evocative painting by Lance Corporal Lance Thackeray, titled 'We don't want to lose you, but we think you ought to go,' we see a young soldier and his lady friend seeking a moment of solitude on a park bench. The year is 1916, and the backdrop of the First World War looms large over their quiet moment of respite. At the other end of the bench, a gentleman, engrossed in a newspaper, remains oblivious to the couple's desire for privacy. His faithful dog looks on, adding to the serene atmosphere of the scene. The young soldier, a member of the Artists Rifles, wears the uniform of a Lance Corporal, a rank indicating his leadership and experience within the military ranks. His friend, dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, clings to him protectively, her expression a mixture of concern and longing. The title of the painting speaks to the bittersweet nature of their moment together. The young soldier's impending departure for the front lines weighs heavily on their hearts, and their brief moment of peace is tinged with the knowledge that their time together may be limited. The painting captures the essence of the human experience during wartime - the desire for connection and companionship, the fear of loss, and the bittersweet taste of the moments that are cherished in the face of uncertainty. This powerful painting, created during the height of World War I, offers a glimpse into the lives of those who lived through the conflict, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their loved ones during times of war.
