EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the mesmerizing Fovant Badges, etched into the lush green landscape of Fovant Down in Wiltshire. Created by Damian Grady, this stunning print showcases three distinct military badges that hold great historical significance. The first badge represents the esteemed Wiltshire Regiment, a renowned infantry regiment with a rich heritage dating back to 1756. Its emblem proudly displays a silver ram on a black background, symbolizing strength and resilience. Next, we see the emblem of the London Rifle Brigade - an elite volunteer unit established in 1859. Their badge features crossed rifles against a vibrant red backdrop, epitomizing their dedication to marksmanship and precision. Lastly, we encounter The Post Office Rifles' distinctive insignia - an amalgamation of two crossed postal horns atop a vivid blue shield. This unique design pays homage to the brave postal workers who served as riflemen during World War I. Together, these badges serve as poignant reminders of our nation's military history and pay tribute to those who have selflessly fought for our freedom. Damian Grady's expertly captured aerial perspective allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details of each badge but also their harmonious integration within nature's canvas. This print is more than just art; it is an evocative portrayal of valor and sacrifice that will undoubtedly ignite curiosity and admiration among all who behold it.
